'Tulips for American Gardens' by bulb retailers, Brent and Becky Heath is an excellent book on at least three counts, if you can get it for less than $10 and not at its list price of $24.95. The most important feature is the fact that it is all about tulips. There are no general facts which include daffodils, narcissus, corms, rhizomes, tubers, or other subterranean perennials. My practical experience says that tulips and daffodils require substantially different treatment, and this book tells all about tulips. The second special feature is the fact that the catalogue of tulip species and cultivars actually fits what I see in my favorite bulb dealer's catalogue. So many times, one sees no connection between cultivar names in texts and your favorite distributor. But, since virtually all tulips originate in Holland, everyone is pretty much working off the same page. The third virtue is that the book is dedicated to our own 'neighborhood', the planting zones of the United States.
While the book as printed is a bit pricy, it is a great source at discounted prices and there is nothing I needed to know which was not in here, most especially information on which cultivars naturalize well and which do not.
