The department listed wild plants which can be put to a "useful purpose": lamb's-quarters, plantain, poke, purslane, wild chicory, dock.

This never-quite-laid ghost has haunted the battlements of English literature for 100 years. In many corners of the world, scholarly and unscholarly fanatics have spent the best part of their lives trying to prove that the son of a simple Stratford-on-Avon townsman was literature's greatest bluff...
