  Written by a practical gardener, this book describes a large range of bulbs from the very common to the very rare, all of which are available commercially. The right bulb can be found for any position and no garden is too small to have a collection. Bulbs range in size from the three-inch high crocus to the ten-foot Cardiocrinum Giganteum which can have more than 20 flowers on a stem. Although the spring is the period of greatest flowering activity, there are bulbs which will flower in any month of the year. This book makes a selection of the best bulbs, describes their special qualities, gives information on their cultivation and makes suggestions for their garden use.
