Older but interesting piece to my collection This book has some common weeds. Most of my books are for identification of grasses, trees, wetland plants, and flowers. Sometimes the weeds don't fall into those categories and I've found them in this book rather than some of the others. It's an older book, so some of the names might have changed, but with online sources and/or a checklist like the Vascular Plants of Texas the older names don't hurt.
common weeds of the united states I farm and am always curious about weeds that come up in my fields this book has been very helpful, when you know what weeds you are trying to kill, you can pick the right herbicide for the job.
common weeds of the United States The weeds in my pasture was identified by my local AG office and only 1 was in the book out of 5. As far as I'm concerned the book was useless to me.
Common Weeds of the United States It may be an arcane subject; but I wanted to know about these seemingly untamed natural "flowers." They have been here since our ancestors brought the majority of them in from their motherlands. Many came in the bags and cracked leather shows of the first Mayflower passengers to stepoff the boat. I wanted to know the names and habits of these seemingly uninvited guests.
And now my neighbor has borrowed the book, I fear I must buy a second copy.
Identify the wild green in your path! The black ink line drawings by Regina O'Hughes, prepared from herbarium specimens, are exquisite in detail and scientific accuracy and are works of art, besides. The nearly 500 pages, drawings on right hand page (9 inches by nearly 7 inches), text and distribution map on left hand page, make this a comprehensive, yet easy to understand and use, reference book. First published in 1970 by the United States Department of Agriculture, this Dover republication book is a tremendous value for the money and its contents are as timely today as they were 30 years ago. These are the plants that Peterson Field Guides ignored. The book contains an extensive bibliography for those who want to further their study of these amazing plants. This book is definitely worth 5 stars!
