The North Central Weed Science Society is selling one of the best books available for weed seed identification. The book, Illustrated Taxonomy Manual of Weed Seeds, contains species in 40 plant families common throughout the Midwest. The illustrations are excellent color photographs of seeds magnified two to six times and are accompanied by a detailed and easy-to-use taxonomic key.

It is written by Richard Delorit, professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Anyone doing weed seed bank work, those participating in crop and weed science contests, instructors of weed science courses, personnel in certified seed laboratories, extension agents and specialists who identify weeds, and anyone else with an interest in weed seed identification should have one of these unique books.
