- (continued from previous page)"Irish Queens" grow best. When they are ready the men dig them and children pick them into buckets.
- There are a few weeds, I know of, such as, Chicken Weed, Coltsfoot, Wicks, Watercress, Comfrey, Nettles, Gorywoag; Blisce, Blisceãn, Thistles, Bocalãn, and the Fuarãn.
The Chicken Weed is used for colds. The Coltsfoot is a harmful weed for the potatoes. Wicks are bad for grass. Watercress if good for the people's health in the Spring time.
Comfrey is good for healing cuts and sores. Gorywoag is harmful to potatoes and oats. Bliscoãn is good for some people's health. The Fuarán is used for feeding pigs.- Collector
