Excerpt from Farm Weeds of Canada
In the Seed Laboratory all kinds of seeds are tested free of charge to farmers. The reports issued thereon give the names of weed seeds found in the samples sent for test, but the mere names of weeds frequently have no meaning to persons who are not expert in the nomenclature of plants. In consequence most new weeds become introduced and well established before their noxious character is appreciated by farmers.
