Review

Know Your Poisonous Plants: Poisonous Plants Found In Field And Garden describes and illustrates sixty-five species of poisonous plants. Fifteen additional pages of another seventy-five species are included with briefer descriptions and illustrations. Author Wilma James has added two pages on what to do about plant poisoning and the prevention of plant poisoning. A glossary, references, and index are also provided to aid the reader. It's not necessary to remove all these plants from our gardens, we can still enjoy them for their beauty, fragrance, medicinal uses and aesthetic value. We only need to be aware of their potentially poisonous effects and be on the alert to protect children, and herbivorous animals from eating or chewing on them, and generally avoiding too much direct contact. Know Your Poisonous Plants is a highly recommended addition to any private or public gardening book collection. -- Midwest Book Review
