Edible and Useful Plants of TX & SW, A Practical Guide Including Recipes, Harmful Plants, Natural Dyes, and Textile Fibers

This is a fun and informative classic that not only includes information on historical uses, but has recipes and instructions for using them today. Teas, dyes, food and tinctures as well as warnings about potentially toxic effects are included. Although the book contains color plates illustrating the plants, it is not a field guide, if you don't know your plants, you'll need a wildflower field guide, and perhaps a tree guide.

Paperback, 5 1/2 x 8 in., 560 pp., 16 pp of color illustrations"
