Edible Wild Plants, first published in 1939, is a classic look at the wealth of wild food plants found across North America. From fruits and nuts, to salad greens, edible tubers and mushrooms, author Oliver Medsger (1870-1955) provides simple tips on finding and preparing hundreds of wild foods. Included too is a useful 'finding key, ' listing important features of each plant, range where found, and season of use. Illustrated with numerous line drawings and a small section of photographs.
