Leading Garden Books 
TWO OFTHE FINEST DEVOTED 
ENTIRELY TO BULB GARDENING 
The following were published in 1948, are author- 
itative, comprehensive, and well organized. They are 
the only books on general bulb gardening published 
in many years, and are destined to fill an important 
gap in good garden literature. 
We offer them together as they make excellent 
companion volumes. Though overlapping in some 
respects each contains a wealth of material not in- 
cluded in the other. 
Contrary to popular opinion bulbs are not con- 
fined to the spring season and both books thoroughly 
cover the vast number of varieties and species that 
bring unusual beauty to the garden rough all 
months of the year, from earliest spring through 
late autumn. The year is further rounded out by 
including bulbs for indoor culture. 

BULBS FOR BEAUTY—Charles H. Mueller. ............0cseeeeeeees $3.50 
Infused with the author’s love of gardening, and written in such an enjoyable 
style, this book has the rare quality of making a confirmed bulb enthusiast of any 
gardener who picks it up for a moment’s browsing. Special emphasis is placed on 
elementary phases and problems of bulb gardening, with no cultural details left 
to the imagination, so it is especially recommended for the beginner. 
BULBS FOR HOME GARDENERS—John C. Wister..,............. $5.00 
As this is a more comprehensive book in many ways it is recommended for the 
advanced gardener or the specialist. It is very well written, but the beginner will 
find certain elementary knowledge missing. Among several groups of bulbs the 
historical and descriptive material is extensive and detailed, showing evidence 
of much research and years of broad experience. 
Mr. Thomas Hoog of our firm (C. G. Van Tubergen), one of the world’s leading 
horticulturists in the field of bulbs, is credited by the author with much valuable 
technical assistance.
