"A weed is a plant whose vitures have not yet been discovered."-Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Generally," says the author, "'Weed' carries a negative connotation, a plant that is undesirable, a nuisance, unsightly. But these are subjective characterizations. The 'weediness' of a plant depends on the time and place that it is found; the attractiveness is in the eyes of the beholder." The book is divided into: Introduction, Organization (of the book), tenacity of weeds, representative weeds, illustrations, references, glossary, cross reference of common and scientific family names and indices of common names and scientific names. Excellent color photos.
