1953: The Complete Book of Bulbs, by F.F. Rockwell & Esther C. Grayson
The Complete Book of Bulbs is a comprehensive guide to growing and caring for bulbs, written by F.F. Rockwell and Esther C. Grayson. The book features 31 color photographs by the authors, as well as more than 100 halftones and diagrams, making it an invaluable resource for any gardener. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of bulbs, how to choose the right bulbs for your garden, planting and care instructions, and tips for forcing bulbs indoors.
Despite being published over 60 years ago, the book remains a valuable reference for gardeners today. The hardcover volume is in good condition, with a dustjacket that shows some wear along the edges and spine. The book itself is tightly bound and very clean, with no markings or writing of any kind. While there is some fading to the pages due to the age of the book, it has clearly been well-studied and is ready to be enjoyed again by anyone looking to expand their knowledge of bulbs and gardening.
