Reviews
"This photographic field guide is jam-packed with information, making it likely to become a favorite inclusion in the field kit of both professional and amateur botanists."--RHODORA "In addition to being the most comprehensive field guide for the northeastern U.S. and Canada, this is an eminently practical book of advice on the cultivation of native plants, both for gardens and for the benefit of wildlife. Discussing nearly 1,500 species of native and naturalized wildflowers, the book offers photos, maps, and text conveniently positioned on facing pages, along with brief, easy-to-follow plant descriptions. The authors, both scientists, bring a thoroughgoing expertise to their love of native habitats, providing a perspective that dedicated gardeners should relish."--TheWall Street Journal "Gracie is a nature lover, a naturalist, an adventurer and a superb botanical photographer. She has five wildflower species named after her. There isn't much she doesn't know about wildflowers, both the indigenous and alien species that grow in the fields, forests, and roadsides of the Northeast. The book brings to the interested reader more than 30 years of study and research. Photos, descriptions, and maps on facing pages make the field guide simple to use, and it fits neatly into a flower finder's backpack."--Maureen Koehl,The Lewisboro Ledger "An important new field guide. It is far more comprehensive than either of the traditional frontrunners and reflects current taxonomy. Piles on useful features that will please everyone from beginner to botanist."--Brooklyn Botanic Garden Newsletter "Will be widely appreciated by amateurs and professionals alike, and should find a wide audience in schools, natural history museums, botanical gardens, nature study societies, and conservation groups."--Peter Raven, Director, Missouri Botanical Garden, "This photographic field guide is jam-packed with information, making it likely to become a favorite inclusion in the field kit of both professional and amateur botanists."--RHODORA, "This photographic field guide is jam-packed with information, making it likely to become a favorite inclusion in the field kit of both professional and amateur botanists."--RHODORA"In addition to being the most comprehensive field guide for the northeastern U.S. and Canada, this is an eminently practical book of advice on the cultivation of native plants, both for gardens and for the benefit of wildlife.
