Do
you have a new interest in using bulbs in your gardens and landscape? Consider
adding one of the following to your library: Naturalizing Bulbs by Rob Proctor,
Bulbs-The Four Seasons by Brian Mathew, or Bulbs-Four Seasons of Beautiful
Blooms by Lewis and Nancy Hill. Logan A. Edgar's book Camelias - First Bloomer
of Spring has wonderful pictures and guidance. Looking for a gift for the
young gardener in your family? You might want to pick up a copy of Judy
Hominick's How to Grow Your Own Butterflies for that stocking. Your youngster
