A Technical Manual for Parasitic Weed Research and Extension

Very useful book, especially for someone like me who is relatively new to understanding the importance of using native plants. I was a little surprised to see the recommendation to use trumpet vine (Campsis radicans), which is a native but also wildly difficult to control. They did not offer as an alternative the native Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) which also has orange trumpet shaped flowers and is loved by hummingbirds and WON'T take over your yard.

Still, I came away with a lot of ideas for future gardening. There were just two things that would have made this a 5-star book for me: 1) little maps of the ranges for each of the plants instead of verbal descriptions ("Nova Scotia to Michigan, south to Alabama" is hard for me to picture and 2) a little more information about the invasives beyond their names and ranges.
