Abstract	Written and published inexpensively during the war years, the book closes with two pages about the Bahá'í Faith: 'Outside of one of the oldest cities in the world, Acca, Palestine, in a simple stone shrine surrounded by the heavenly pink Damask rose, rests Baha'u'llah, one of the greatest sages of all times and a descendant of those ancient Iranian kings, first patrons of gardens and herbs. Thousands of pilgrims journey here every year to pay homage to his memory, grateful for his teachings, that unveil a new plan for human happiness...' A brief biography of Bahá'u'llah is followed by that of Abdu'l-Bahá and His teachings on herbs, healing and the future of medicine. A quotation from Prayers and Meditations of Bahá'u'llah closes the text, followed by an index; then: 'COPIES OF THIS BOOK MAY BE PURCHASED FROM AUTHOR by writing to either address in front of the book and mailing price of $5.00. 101 Useful Weeds and Wildlings, $1.50 - paper cover.' This is a publication of what appears to be a typewritten manuscript, with the reverse side of each page blank, except for the title page and a page containing 2 photos, one on either side. The 8-1/4' x 10-3/4' leaves are bound together by three staples. All leaves are orange-yellow except for two containing three photographs on off-white paper.
