Re: Latin names

Thanks for the recommendation, we don't just distribute these two
titles,
"Dictionary of Plant Names" and "How to Identify Flowering Plant
Families",
we published them.  We DO distribute William Stern's "Botanical Latin"
though.

And our new spring list is coming in.

Best Regards,

Ann Anderson
