About this title

Review:

Are you a floribunda soul living with a three-tulip yard? There are at least two big advantages to planting a wide variety of hardy bulbs in your garden. The first, of course, is their perennial status in most parts of the world. The second is the continual pleasure you receive from "bulb stacking," the art of having several plants flowering at any given time in the growing season, and a constant supply of cut flowers for your home. This reprint of a 1936 classic covers more than 300 types of bulbous plants, including rhizomes, corms, and tubers, and encourages the adventure of trying something new--such as anemones or striped squills--among your trusty tulips and crocuses.

From the Back Cover:

Charming and enthusiastic, Adventures with Hardy Bulbs is an eminently readable guide to gardening with bulbous plants that has been favored by generations of gardeners. Wilder offers introductory as well as advanced gardening techniques and advice for over three hundred species grown from bulbs, corms, rhizomes, and tubers.
