The Complete Book of Bulbs 
by F. F. Rockwell and Esther C. Grayson 
This book, superbly illustrated and full of readily available 
information, covers the entire field of bulbs for the American 
garden. It is a manual that should be on every dealer’s desk 
and, at the same time, it is a book that will sell readily to 
amateur gardeners. It presents the subject in a step-by-step 
way that will clarify the mysteries and misconceptions which 
for most amateurs surround the growing of bulbs. The Com- 
plete Book of Bulbs is by far the most comprehensive book on the subject ever 
published in this country. It is a basic volume that should be included in every 
dealer’s as well as every home gardener’s library. Retail price $5.95. Write to 
Doubleday & Co., 575 Madison Avenue, New York 22, New York, for trade 
discounts.

Society for a nominal fee. Mr. C. Olivet, 4318 Underwood Street, University Park, 
Maryland, is in charge of the slide collections of the Lily Society. Finally, fine 
collections of lily slides, extended with lilies in special arrangements and other 
unique photographs, are available from Dr. Philip Corliss, Somerton, Arizona, for

We suggest that you recommend to your local garden club that these lectures 
and slides be used. Your nursery or store could act as sponsor for the lecture. We 
are always glad to send some special pictures or other display material, cultural 
instructions to hand out or to give any other help. Please do not hesitate to ask us.
