more about germination than identification
If you are looking for a resource to help identify seeds (as I was) then this book is not what you are looking for. This book is more about germination requirements. The illustrations of seeds are poor quality B + W photographs; no info on color or texture, and no written descriptions of seeds.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Seeds of Woody Plants in North America: Revised and Enlarged Edition (Paperback)
If you are looking for a resource to help identify seeds (as I was) then this book is not what you are looking for. This book is more about germination requirements. The illustrations of seeds are poor quality B + W photographs; no info on color or texture, and no written descriptions of seeds. The very same illustrations, as well as others in color, are available on the USDA plant database website. Go there for free rather than buy this book.

The bible of seed propagation!,
By Hort Man "Aesculus" (Oxford, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seeds of Woody Plants in North America: Revised and Enlarged Edition (Paperback)
This is an updated version of the USDA Woody Plant Seed Manual and is for professional propagators or serious laypersons. It is not a book regarding seed identification although if you have a knowledge of plant identification and seed morphology it is quite useful in that regard. Its main benefits are its information on pregermination requirements, morphology of germinating seeds, and collection and storage requirements. Several genera have been added and the bibliography has been updated with new research publications. A must for a serious propagator.
