Review:

It is a book that can prove its usefulness over and over again. -- Lynette Walther "Neighbors" (12/15/1999) I found the information presented about the plants to be comfortably comprehensive. -- Diana Pederson "Grandiflora" (09/18/2002) This book is clearly written, avoiding both botanical and medical technical terms. It is a handy reference to poisonous plants found in homes and buildings, gardens, urban areas, and in the wild throughout North America. -- Mary Ellen Lloyd "Gardener for the Prairies" (01/01/1995)
