 In April 1999 A.A. Balkema International Publishers published an new book on bulbous plants. This book is published in two languages: Dutch and English, and is written by Peter Knippels.

Besides the well known bulbs as tulip, narcissus and lily, a large group of lesser known bulbous plants exist: the specialty bulbs. This group consist of numerous plants in a great variety. In 'Growing bulbs indoors', a selection has been made of interesting plants which can be grown indoors. This richly illustrated book describes more than 40 genera and 200 species, ranging from plants that beginners can grown with ease to those that form a challenge foor experienced growers. In a practical way, the author explains which species can be grown and how the are tended. In addition, practical information on propagation, dideases and differences in growing summer en winter plants is supplied. This valuable information, based on the author's experience, distinguishes this work from the other various books on bulbous plants.
