More than one hundred new illustrations have been added; revisions in content take into account the changing distribution of species, the introduction of new species, and more complete descriptions for many families and genera. . . . Like the seed catalogs, Spring Flora will set you dreaming of the season ahead."—Wisconsin Academy Review
