The book has been written for the modern motorist who wants to learn to enjoy the bounties of nature which are so easily found a short distance from the urban centers. The nature enthusiast will find here a vast store of information about some of the commonest of plants while the cook will find in Chapter Two a hundred recipes employing those same plants. Parents will find suggestions for amusing children with plants while the book as a whole is a "must" for Scouters, boy or girl. Teachers and librarians can read here the answers to many questions about the trees and plants which are indigenous to the Northeastern United States while Hobbyists of many interests will discover new avenues of opportunity. This work is, in short, the one book which should be in the glove compartment of every auto, as bringing together in unique form the things that everyone should know about the 100 plants that are the subject of its pages.
