Which plants feed a farm, which serve the arts, and which will poison the unwary? William Salisbury sorts the useful and the noxious, from grasses and crops to plants prized by trade and those to be handled with care. A practical botanical companion for the working countryside. Learn which plants to grow, to use, and to avoid.

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.
