Review
An excellent addition to your garden shelf ... as well as fun to thumb through. -- Marilis Hornidge "Courier-Gazette" (04/27/2006)
Synopsis
Heiser, a noted Indiana U. botanist who studied weeds for decades, makes a case for the virtues of these maligned plants. Aided by color plates and line drawings, he describes traditional medicinal and other uses of some 140 plants of the Aceraceae (maple) to vitaceae (grape) families.
