    A Modern Herbal, first published in 1931, by Mrs. M. Grieve, contains Medicinal, Culinary, Cosmetic and Economic Properties, Cultivation and Folk-Lore of Herbs.

    Plant & Herb Index - More than 800 varieties of herbs & plants. Index of Recipes - A listing of 29 plants that include recipes. Index of Poisons - A listing of 44 plants that are listed as poisonous.

    Regarding cultivation - Keep in mind that this was written in England, with a climate similar to the Pacific Northwest in America.

    For Medicinal Use - Bear in mind it was written with the conventional wisdom of the early 1900's. This should be taken into account as some of the information may now be considered inaccurate, or not in accordance with modern medicine.
