What is a weed? Ralph Waldo Emerson declared a weed is "a plant whose virtues
have not been discovered." But ask a gardener, farmer or weed control
specialist, and the answers will range from "a plant of little value" to "a
troublesome pest that affects the health of livestock and humans." A weed might
best be defined as any plant growing where it is not wanted. Within each
category they are further divided by color: blue, green, orange, pink,
purple, white and yellow. Book has good diagrams and color pictures of leaf
types. It is an excellent source of lesser- and well-known plants.
