My Weeds: A Gardener's Botany
Reading like a series of articles for a horticultural magazine, this book seems better suited for publication in that format. It's tough to hold even an avid gardener's interest with a range of writing that includes botany, lore, and personal experiences with plants considered to be weeds. Stein ( The Science Book ) is an adequate writer, but the subject is not that compelling unless weeds have been the major interest of your gardening life. Even then, how many gardeners will take time to read about weeds they have sprayed, pulled, or ignored? Dale Luchsinger, Athens Area Technical Inst.
