Native Plants of Commercial Importance by Richard Allen Miller. An information-filled look at how to supplement rural incomes by the harvest of native plants and herbs from the region. Among the wild plants of North America are many which have long been used in medicinal, cosmetic, food, and floral industries. Some of them are used in sufficient quantities to make them commercially important.

Each region contains a description of ten common crops now harvested, with detail and a special appendix on marketing. Reforestastation is stressed to make each crop renewable and self-generating as a natural resource. Soft cover, 340 pages. B&W illustrations. Shipping included in price.
