Jeff Ball
Rodale Press, 1995
A Must for the Gardener's Bookshelf
What an informative book! Now I know why the chipmunks were digging up my bulbs, but not eating them.

I learned I should prune back my ajuga and give winter protection for the azaleas and rhododendrons. I also found out what the strange growths were on the azaleas.

Uses of Plants by the Indians of the Missouri River Region (Enlarged Edition) 1 review
Melvin R. Gilmore
Bison Books, 1991
In-depth herbalism info for the region.
This book has a wonderful review and information about
plants in the Missouri River Region of the United States,
and a bunch of information as to how some of the tribes in
the local area used them traditionally. My only beef with
the book is that the authors did not do another one for
at least one other region of the US - wish they would!
