The Fern Lover's Companion
George Henry Tilton
Ferns unfurl by rules all their own, and learning them is half the pleasure. George Tilton guides the beginner through vernation, veins, and the little fruit dots that mark each kind, with helpful hints for naming the graceful plants of shaded woods. A friendly pocket companion for the fern lover. Learn to know and cherish the ferns of field and forest.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
