Home Gardener's Perennials & Bulbs provides essential information on designing gardens, improving the soil, planting, fertilizing, and maintaining perennials and bulbs. The book offers information on buying plants, starting plants from seed, and transplanting. Hundreds of step-by-step color photographs illustrate basic gardening techniques.
