You can download some issues of Herbertia, Amaryllis Yearbook and Plant Life the journal published by the International Bulb Society, by clicking on the links below.
The International Bulb Society was founded on May 31, 1933 and was dedicated to informing the public about the science, cultivation, conservation and botany of bulbs.
It began in 1933 as the American Amaryllis Society, publishing its first yearbook in 1934. Two years later the yearbook title was changed to Herbertia. Later the society was renamed the American Plant Life Society. The society became inactive in January 2014.
The name Herbertia is in honour of William Herbert who specialised in bulbs and Amaryllidaceae in particular. The genus Herbertia was also named for him.
The name of the journals changed over the years. Below the main name is that printed on the cover. Many volumes of Plant World contained a number described as Herbertia.
