[G] Really a biennial.
CHAPTER VI
Flowers that Spring from a Storehouse (Bulbs and Tubers)
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew vi, 28, 29.
If you are going to be a really-truly gardener, you will want to know something about the plants and flowers that you try to grow, so let's have a few words right here about the difference between the bulb and tuber families. They can be classed together because they both spring from what is in fact a storehouse filled one season with food to help them through the next season's bloom!
Hyacinths and daffodils, for example, come from BULBS, which are built up, layer on layer, exactly like an onion.
