Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulbous Irises [The following contains the substance of the lecture as given, though I have somewhat expanded and variously modified what I actually said; and I have added a detailed description of the several species. I am much indebted to the editors of the Gardeners´ Chronicle and of the Garden for the loan of woodcuts; the source is indicated hi each figure. Those figures which bear the name "Caparn" were most kindly drawn for me by my friend Mr. J. W. Caparn, of Oundle. The rest were prepared for me by Mr. Wilson, of Cambridge. Unless otherwise stated, the figures are of natural size.] I propose to treat my subject as much as possible from a gardener´s point of view, and shall therefore not take up more time than is necessary with botanical details. To start with, I use the term "bulbous" in the gardener´s, not in the botanists meaning. We gardeners are regarded, and indeed justly regarded, by the botanists as being very loose in our use of the word "bulb"; we often include as bulbs what ought to be called "corms," "tubers," or the like. I do not propose to discuss to-day which Irises form "true" bulbs, and shall use the term "bulb" in the loose gardening sense. It a gardening definition of a bulb be wanted, we may perhaps say that "it is a specially fed bud which separates of its own accord from the mother stock in order to live an independent existence."
