Abstract
Bailey gives his final summation of the much maligned term, "weed," redeeming the plants often dismissed as weeds by gardeners. Again referring to Emerson's definition of a weed as "a plant out of place," Bailey flips the question and asks "whether a plant is ever out of place except when cultivated."
