A great little book. As a new gardener I had it on the patio with me when I planted my bulbs this fall. It is full of good photos and has a "how to grow" section that I found very helpfull. It details where/when and how deep specific bulbs should be planted.
A very useful and complete encyclopedia of bulbs with plenty of information on culture and care, as well as detailed descriptions of specific species, and many great photos.
