British Plants and Their Uses
London: Batsford, 1951
First printing
An old-fashioned guide to the myriad ways plants have been used in traditional British life.
450 different species of common plants are arranged by areas they can be found and the multiple ways country folk have found to eat, drink or just cultivate their flowers.
Published from an age when horses were still more common than tractors, this is still a fascinating compendium of folk custom.
