Dear Nancy Gilbert: Nelson Coon, a friend who has now passed away, wrote several books on the medicinal use of plants, including bulbs, you might find them listed, I do not know. Other books that you might be interested in are the following. Valuable Herbal Prescriptions (1890) a thin book but most interesting. A Modern Herbal by Mrs. M. Grieve,(1971) published by Dover Press, 2 volumes, this is quite complete. The Book of Herb Lore, (1970) again a Dover publication, the author Lady Rosalind Northcote. Herbs for Health by Otto Mausert (1932) and published by the author. This book has many colored prints. The Old English Herbals, (1971) published by Dover, is another good book. The Natural History of Medicinal Plants by Judith Sumner (2000) published by Timber Press. I have in my library, several old Herbals, 18th and 19th century which I have collected, well illustrated with hand colored prints, several are in 2 volumes. Today these are, to say the least rare and expensive! Have you tried to find others in medical libraries? It might be worth looking into. Cheers, John E. Bryan
