These handy little books have a great deal in common with seeds: each one contains all you need to start a wonderful gardening experience....

Informative sidebars contain time-saving tips, practical garden advice, and solutions to common mistakes. Over 70 color photographs of bulb portraits and gardens, and instructional line drawings.
