Book Description
Among all the garden crops, bulbous crops play an important role in magnifying the view of the home garden as these have other good qualities besides beautifying the place where these are grown. One of the main advantages of growing bulbous crops in a home garden is that due to perennial nature, a gardener does not have to worry about next season planting. All the bulbous plants have storage parts underground the soil which can be corms, true bulbs, pseudo-bulbs, stolons, rhizomes, tubers etc. While corms are similar to bulbs with the differentiation of hardness and no stems, the bulbils or bulblets are small bulbs, a rhizome is a modified stem that extends underground horizontally and arises from lateral stem of main stem of the plant. Stolons can be produced either underground or above the ground depending plant to plant.

Book Description
Excerpt from Currie's Bulbs and Plants: Autumn 1925 Table showing the number of Tulip bulbs required to fill a round bed of given dimensions. The number in each row from the center outward indicated. The rows five inches apart and the bulbs five inches in the rows. To ascertain the approximate number of bulbs required for a bed of any size or shape. The area being known. Divide the number of square inches in the bed by the product of the distance of the bulbs apart both ways: for example, a bed of 12 square feet contains square inches if bulbs are to be planted 6 inches apart one way by 4 inches the other. Divide by 6x4 or 24 will give 72 as the number of bulbs required. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Growing Flower Bulbs Guide for Beginners Flower bulbs are fascinating structures that serve as underground storage organs for plants. They are a specialized form of plant structure, adapted to store nutrients and energy reserves, enabling the plant to survive adverse conditions and bloom when conditions are favorable. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of flower bulbs is crucial for successful gardening and nurturing beautiful blooms. it's important to recognize that not all underground storage structures are bulbs. While bulbs are a type of storage organ, there are other types such as corms, tubers, and rhizomes. Bulbs are distinct in their structure, consisting of layers of modified leaves or scales surrounding a central bud or growing point. This bud is the embryonic shoot of the plant, containing the potential to develop into stems, leaves, and flowers. The layers of modified leaves or scales that encase the bud serve several purposes. They protect the delicate growing point from damage, insulate it from temperature fluctuations, and store reserves of water and nutrients essential for growth. These layers also contain specialized cells that facilitate the uptake and storage of nutrients, contributing to the bulb's ability to survive dormancy periods and produce vigorous growth when conditions are favorable. One of the key characteristics of flower bulbs is their ability to undergo cycles of dormancy and growth. During the dormant phase, which typically occurs during unfavorable environmental conditions such as winter or dry seasons, the plant conserves its energy and remains quiescent underground. This is facilitated by the protective layers of the bulb, which shield the vital tissues from external stressors. As environmental conditions improve, such as with the arrival of spring or the onset of rainy seasons, the bulb receives cues that stimulate growth. These cues may include changes in temperature, day length, or moisture levels. In response, the dormant bud within the bulb begins to activate, initiating cell division and elongation, eventually pushing through the soil surface to produce new shoots and leaves. Flower bulbs exhibit a remarkable diversity in terms of species and varieties, with thousands of different plants classified as bulbous. This diversity encompasses a wide range of sizes, shapes, colors, and bloom times, offering gardeners a rich palette to choose from when designing their landscapes or gardens. GET YOUR COPY!!!
