Weeds are not simply costly nuisances; with their often sinister beauty,
remarkable adaptability and vigor, and their frequent medicinal,
narcotic or nutritional uses they can be fascinating members of the
plant family. The 45 weeds illustrated here by Stefen Bernath are
typical, important weeds, likely to be found almost anywhere in the
United States. Full captions identify them, with both botanical and
popular names, and offer descriptions, habitat, and weed lore. Each weed
is shown in full color on the covers.
