Weeds of the Northeast Review: Best for foraging identification - I've tried several books on wild edibles because I want to make use of plants (weeds) growing on my property. This book solved my problem. Although it isn't geared to identification of edible plants only, nor does it make any claim about uses for various plants, I was finally able to identify all the common weeds I'd been wondering about. Once I knew what a plant was, I could go to another book ('Peterson Field Guide: Edible Wild Plants' is my favorite) to learn about potential usability. I've really tried hard to identify these plants with surety in other books without success, but with this one, I was able to identify them all in about 30 minutes. Every one of the 299 common weeds described in this book has a full page of great pictures as well as a page of information. The thorough and unusual indexes in the front help you find plants by characteristics, but for me it was the pictures that did the trick. There's a picture of the mature plant in its favored location as well as pictures of seedlings, seeds, close-ups, stem characteristics, and sometimes a person's hand holding the plant, which helps with size reference on small plants and even additional drawings where they would add value. There is a thorough glossary at the end of the book, tables of comparisons, and charts including an elaborate foldout chart comparing various grasses. At some point, I may want to get deeper into the provided information to help control certain weeds, but my main goal was identification and this book did it for me--in spades. I couldn't be more pleased. Review: Answers to "what's this? what's that?" but not all of them - I love this book! I had to have my own copy after seeing one in use at the Cooperative Extension's Master Gardener booth at last year's 4-H Fair. It doesn't ID everything that I find growing around my property, of course, and I definitely agree with S.C. Watson's wishes for information on edibility and invasiveness. Still, this is a terrific book. The ID process format (the part you look at to try and ID a mystery plant) takes a little getting used to, but that is true with any detailed plant book. There is "plant language" ("cotyledon" and the like) but not an impossible amount. The photos, as has been pointed out, are amazing. Each plant is shown in several forms, from seeds to total plant, even just to different ways (darkness of hue, etc.) that individual plants may look. It's fun to see what's popping up in the lawn and at the edges of the wood, and it's educational too. Recommended without reservation. Updated several years later: This remains my go-to field guide for weed identification, although I've purchased several more and am always on the lookout. Depending whether one is more interested in flowers or "weeds," one will want to pick up different books. Weeds of the Northeast is not, for example, state of the art as regards invasive species, but the second edition of Kaufman & Kaufman's Invasive Plants complements it nicely in that regard. This book, Weeds of the Northeast, is really the "bible" of its genre. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0801483344 | | Best Sellers Rank | #233,713 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #149 in Regional Gardening & Horticulture #199 in Gardening & Horticulture Reference (Books) #241 in Gardening Encyclopedias | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (427) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.75 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9780801483349 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0801483349 | | Item Weight | 1.65 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 408 pages | | Publication date | June 15, 1997 | | Publisher | Comstock Publishing Associates | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Weeds of the Northeast - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rTLKwX7ZL.jpg) ![Weeds of the Northeast - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oxwOs0HGL.jpg) ![Weeds of the Northeast - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ea1aRSExL.jpg) ![Weeds of the Northeast - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81K+nZm3gXL.jpg) ![Weeds of the Northeast - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/319-lt8cn8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best for foraging identification *by C***G on March 15, 2011* I've tried several books on wild edibles because I want to make use of plants (weeds) growing on my property.

I often work in wetland delineations, and part of that requires identifying the plants in the surrounding upland areas...and wouldn't you know a lot of them tend to be weedy species. This book is truly amazing thanks to its depth of information and variety of (ALL) color photographs that provide a variety of views. All too often we may stumble upon a plant in a season that may not reflect the 'typical' form that we see in most guides. By having the various life stages all on one page, you are bound to find the species you are looking for - any time of year. A final point - it has additional tables to help in identification! The price for the paperback is unbelievably cheap compared to some other guides I have purchased while building my library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1524527-weeds-of-the-northeast](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1524527-weeds-of-the-northeast) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
