Reviews

Based on the scholarly four-volume New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening, Manual of Bulbs is the fourth book in an ongoing series. This volume records the natural history of bulbs and their cultivation history, describing the qualities and culture of the majority of cultivated ornamental bulbs. There's a newly written introduction by John Bryan, author of Bulbs, a two-volume encyclopedia. The A-to-Z listing is more than 400 pages in length. Each listing offers detailed data on the flower's size, color, leaves, soil and temperature requirements, habitat, and propagation. Also, there are 84 drawings as well as a list of bulbs by family and by geographical region worldwide, a glossary, an index of popular names, and a bibliography. George Cohen
