Hello,

I would like to announce the availability of two items available from
the North American Lily Society (NALS) that may be of interest to
subscribers to this list.

The first is the new book "Martagon Lilies" by Eugene Fox. It is a
182 page book dedicated entirely to martagon species and hybrids, and
includes numerous line drawings, maps, and 16 pages of color photos.
It starts with an excellent job of describing the species that belong
to the martagon group, and goes on to discuss hybrids, hybridizing,
and all aspects of culture and propagation. I believe it is the only
book available that is dedicated to martagons. Fox published the book
himself, but it is available on the NALS web site.

The second is the NALS "Digital Yearbook" DVD, containing facsimiles
of the first 50 NALS Yearbooks (1947-1997). The Yearbooks have been
converted into high quality graphic Adobe PDFs that can be viewed
using the Adobe Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewers. All of the
original text, graphics, and photos are included, and the files are
suitable for on screen viewing or printing. The DVD is compatible
with computers using Windows, Macintosh, or Linux operating systems.
A DVD drive is required; the files can not be accessed from a CD
drive.The DVD contains more than 6,800 pages of material, and is an
economical alternative to collecting all of the printed yearbooks. It
is a great resource for lilium research, as it contains 50 years
worth of information about lilium species, hybrids, hybridization,
and lily culture.

More information about these can be found at the NALS Store on the
NALS website:
