| Summary | "The Book of Bulbs" by Samuel Arnott is a practical gardening guide written in the late 19th century. This handbook offers an in-depth exploration of various bulbous and tuberous plants, emphasizing their cultivation, arrangement, and the aesthetic they bring to gardens. It aims to assist both novice and experienced gardeners in understanding the value of bulbs and how to effectively incorporate them into their gardening practices. At the start of the work, the author, along with the editor, outlines the significance of bulbous plants, particularly their early blooming characteristics that contribute to garden beauty during spring. The opening chapters introduce practical advice for managing bulbs, such as planting in grass, creating visually appealing arrangements, and considerations for bulb care and common diseases. Additionally, it touches upon the advantages of including these plants in borders, emphasizing the harmony of their colors in relation to other flowering plants and their appeal as cut flowers for decoration.
