AN 
DRS soe bULBOUS PVANTS: 
HE term “ Bulb” has a very wide horticultural significance, and is by no means restricted 
to the description of Bulbous Plants properly so-called. Colchicums, Crocuses, and 
Gladioli are corms, most of the Irises are rhizomatous, and the roots of the garden Ranunculus 
are tuberous: yet all are familiarly known and purchased as “ Bulbs.” 
Most of the plants named in nurserymen’s Bulb catalogues are here classified according 
to hardiness, or the protection required for their successful culture. 
Orchids are not 
included, but are treated separately further on in the Supplement. 
After each name is given abbreviated information as to the colours of the flowers, and the 
height of the plant in feet and the fractions of a foot. 
Where plants are grown for their 
foliage, e.g., Caladiums and other Aroids, the contractions following fol refer to the colours 
and markings of the leaves. 
For information as to selection and general treatment, the reader is referred to the 
article on ‘“ Bulbs,” in Vol. I.
