Product Description

First Edition 150,000 copies! Over 200 different flowers you grow from bulbs get the world-famous flower doctor's treatment. See which are best for indoor growing and which are best outdoors, with a plan so you'll enjoy colorful blooms all year-round--from Amaryllis, Begonia, Crocus, and Dahlia, through Irises, Lilies, Narcissus, Tulip, and Zephyranthes. All 200 bulb types come with full-color photos of the plants in season, close-up color illustrations of bulb parts, and tips on planting times, sites, soils, and propagation techniques. Learn how to plant, feed, and water each type, and what's needed for after- flowering care, winter protection, staking, and storage. The full range of interests is covered: increasing your stock, using bulbs in beds and borders, naturalizing bulbs, growing bulbs in containers, in the rockery, and in the greenhouse. A special section shows how to display and care for cut flowers from bulbs. Troubleshooting charts explain how to keep everything alive and flourishing.

The Bulb Expert5
This book was prerequisite reading for a flower show school I recently attended. It was wonderful. I love the "Expert" series by Hessayon. They are my Bibles when it comes to gardening. They are well organized with lots of pictures and would be helpful for the novice or expert.

Great books I have them all, well done and informative.5
I own five of these books and love each and everyone I hope to get the rest of them. The pictures are great as well as the information on each plant. I started out with nothing in my gardens and now i get people stopping by and saying how nice my yard looks.I recomend these books to everyone instrested in gardening......
