I am the grateful recipient of about 40 books from a plant-crazy lady of 94 who was forced to downsize when moving. I've hardly begun to go through them but among them is one wonderful book Lilies of the World published in 1950. It contains the most incredible amount of historical, geographical and nomenclatural (up until 1950) information of lilies in one place that I have so far seen in my admittedly narrow-lived life. Oh yes, there is also a huge amount of cultural information and many discussions of various species with pros and cons of splitting versus lumping. Does anyone have any other old but still very valuable bulb books that they could recommend as useful to those of us on limited budgets or who live in relatively remote areas? It's all very well to search the internet for these types of books, but personal reviews detailing why and how they're useful is something else.
