Delorit, Richard J. 1970. An Illustrated Taxonomy Manual of Weed Seeds.
Agronomy Publications, River Falls, Wisconsin.
has keys.

We find--
Martin, Alexander C. and William D. Barkley. 1961. Seed identification
manual. University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles, CA.
to be quite useful.

We do use quite a few other seed books too.  See:
http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/natsci/herbarium/lib/
subject search: "seeds"

Also, we have a "seed" collection with over 3200 vials.  It is invaluable
for seed id. work.

Best wishes,
Kent
