Plant Name Sorting

[ottawagardener]

A comprehensive attempt to sort out edible plant names. I have it on the brassica page as the amount of information varies depending on how much work they have done on each section. But it gives you a good idea of what they 'can' offer:

Very good link there, I mostly use the 'mansfeld ' dictionary, if I have the courage to begin sorting it out (thousands of pages), the paper dictionary is 4 or 5 volumes and very expensive (I've only seen it once), but it is scanned in by Google:
books.google.com/books?id=kqqH6UdyYnoC&pg=PA2343&lpg=PA2343&dq=mansfeld+food&source=bl&ots=TGL1c6OfB7&sig=e-T6xtbyQZshsjiFWfQmULBkkcs&hl=nl&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPP1,M1

Thanks!! for introducing me to that link. I am asking my husband if they have it at his university. If only I could read it volume by volume. And expensive indeed: one link revealed its price.

I would suspect they do, Telsing, eitheir Ottawa U. or Carleton. If not, the inter-university loan will take care of it. But Google is doing a good job of digitaliizing these books. You can actually google some more precise details and it will bring you to the right pages. It is a bit hard on the eyes for me though...
