2nd Edition — 1986
Shaker Heritage Society

The Shakers developed a substantial historical association with commercial herb cultivation and medicinal plants, making publications documenting that activity useful beyond the general herbal-book market.

The title is also sufficiently specialized to appear in Shaker bibliographies. A Shaker research bibliography identifies Herbrandson's work as Shaker Herbs and their Medicinal Uses, published by the Shaker Heritage Society in Albany in 1985.

Herbrandson's botanical illustration work also continued to be used by the Shaker Heritage Society in later educational materials.
