A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 128 pages. Full black cloth boards with white plant illustration. Discolored marks on yellow endpapers. Tears on worn dust jacket. Black and white drawings. "Deadly Harvest gives a clear and detailed explanation of where poisons are found, and lists the varieties of garden plants, hedge plants, and wild plants which are potential dangers to us all. The book's practical and valuable advice covers both the problems of antidotes and the eradication of the plants themselves. There is also a fascinating history of man's encounter with plant dangers, including several medieval methods of deliberate poisoning, as well as many illustrative cases of accidental poisoning."
