If practicing domesticity well, the Colonial woman could not fail to know and grow herbs. The family depended upon herbs for medicine, food, and for a pleasant touch of beauty and fragrance. The American colonial wife did not cultivate spices, since they thrive in tropical climes, but she certainly enjoyed utilizing those exotic spices in her kitchen and home. Patricia B. Mitchell discusses the uses to which milady put these plants in Colonial Spices and Herbs, a book full of fascinating information, quotations, and descriptions. Especially helpful is the explanation of ancient herbals, "humors," and the "Doctrine of Signatures." Anyone planning an historic herb garden needs this book. (And it makes good reading even if you wish to be an armchair gardener.) 137 numbered pages, including a thorough index. 226 research notes. 16 historical recipes.This and other books by Patricia B. Mitchell were first written for museums and their patrons. Each of her books summarizes a food history topic, using quotations and anecdotes to both entertain and inform. She carefully lists her references to make it easy for others to launch their own research. Since the 1980s Patricia Mitchell's work is a proven staple of American museum culture. Her readers love to share her ever-present sense of discovery. Her sales are approaching a million copies, and she is widely known by her web identity FoodHistory.com.

Excerpt from Herb Lore: May, 1936 The demand of Americans for Chinese Herbs has for several years been steadily on the increase. Consequently, whereas some forty years ago the sale of Chinese Herbs in the United States was confined almost wholly to the Chinese population, at the time of this writing, the American patrons far outnumber the Chinese. Our company has been doing business in Oakland, California, for the past twenty years. During this period, we have afforded genuine, and, in most cases, permanent relief to numerous persons, variously afflicted. Our harmless, life-giving herbs have so built up their bodies, purified their blood, and renewed their strength that they have again felt like their former selves and have joyfully taken up the burdens of life anew. We are here presenting the testimonials of a number of enthusiastic patrons, some of whom testified in the Federal Court in San Francisco, California, March 1st to 8th, 1932, as to the authenticity of their printed statements; the more recent addresses of whom may be obtained at our office. The office hours of our herbalist are from 10:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. daily, Sundays 9:00 A. M. to 12 Noon. Herbs are cooked and the tea served at the office daily to those patrons who either prefer to drink the tea at the office or who have no facilities for cooking the herbs at home. Although there is no charge for cooking the herbs, 90 percent of our patrons prefer to boil them at home, several packages being put up at a time. Herbs are compounded to meet the needs of the individual. In all cases, the price is the same, being ten dollars per week in advance for seven packages, one to be cooked each day either in accordance with directions given, or cooked in four cups of cold water and boiled down to one cup in about 30 minutes, the tea to be strained and drunk while warm. Believing that the American public would be interested to know something of the Chinese theories regarding the functioning of the various organs of the body, and of the Chinese methods of healing that have come down to us through the ages, we are also printing several articles from the pen of our renowned herbalist.

An easy-to-use guide to American regional folklore with advice on conducting research, regional essays, and a selective annotated bibliography. American Regional Folklore begins with a chapter on library research, including how to locate a library suitable for folklore research, how to understand a library's resources, and how to construct a research strategy. Mood also gives excellent advice on researching beyond the library: locating and using community resources like historical societies, museums, fairs and festivals, storytelling groups, local colleges, newspapers and magazines, and individuals with knowledge of the field. The rest of the book is divided into eight sections, each one highlighting a separate region (the Northeast, the South and Southern Highlands, the Midwest, the Southwest, the West, the Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii). Each regional section contains a useful overview essay, written by an expert on the folklore of that particular region, followed by a selective, annotated bibliography of books and a directory of related resources.

These handy, accurate, and easily used keys to fruit and twig identification are the only guides of their sort with photographs--over 350 of them, of nearly every twig and fruit described--making them especially valuable to the novice. The fruit key (dealing with both deciduous trees and evergreens) begins with a concise introduction, explaining simply and lucidly the process of seeding, and identifying the various organs involved: the cones and flowers, and their component parts and variations. Next the various types of fruits are described--drupe, berry, pome, legume, follicle, capsule, achene, samara, nut--and fruiting habits, followed by a synoptic summary of fruit types. The introduction to the twig key tells in plain language the process of growth and its relation to twig morphology through leaf scars, branch scars, buds, etc. For the benefit of the unwary, poison-ivy, poison-oak and poison-sumac are immediately and fully described. Identification in both books is easy. There is a pair of alternative descriptions of each aspect of the specimens. Your choice of the fitting one leads you automatically to the next proper pair. At the end of the chain is the name of your specimen and, as a double check, a photograph. More than 120 different fruits and 160 different twigs are distinguished. This exceptional work, widely used in university courses in botany, biology, forestry, etc., is a valuable tool and instructor to the naturalist, woodsman, or farmer, and to anyone who has wondered about the name of a leafless tree in winter or been intrigued by an interestingly shaped fruit or seed.
