Peterson Field Guides

Second Edition
by Boughton Cobb, Cheryl Lowe, and Elizabeth Farnsworth

Since 1956, when the late Boughton Cobb wrote this field guide to ferns, his book has been the classic on the subject. Now the New England Wild Flower Society, the nation’s oldest organization devoted to the conservation of wild plants, has completely updated the text and added 100 color photographs. The beautiful full-page line drawings by the late Laura Louise Foster have been reproduced from the original art. New subjects include a section on habitats and conservation, a glossary of botanical terms, and a chapter on gardening with ferns.
