Each of the 140 exquisite hand-colored engravings featured herein-from elderberry and chamomile to aloe and St. Johns wort-is accompanied by Blackwells description of its medicinal properties. The plants have been selected by the renowned garden writer Marta McDowell, who also contributes an introduction about Elizabeth Blackwell and the herbal medicine of her time.
