Review

"The majority of the book is comprised of detailed alphabetic listings including most plant genera arising from bulbs, corms, tubers, and rhizomes. These encyclopedic plant entries are complemented by an equally comprehensive pictorial presentation. Not only are there more than 1100 color photographs - many showing the plants in their natural habitats - but there are also color reproductions of striking botanical illustrations from 19th-century issues of Curtis's Botanical Magazine and other publications, from the author's extensive personal collection. Additional useful elements of the book include a glossary and valuable lists detailing bulb origins and landscape possibilities."--BOOK JACKET
