Excerpt from Bolgianos Catalog, Fall 1932: Selected Bulbs and Vegetables Outdoor culture - Plant the bulbs as soon after September as possible to enable the roots to make good growth before the cold weather sets in. They can, however, be planted from September until the ground becomes frozen. They require a moderately rich soil, or else apply Loma, Sheep Manure or Bone Meal. How far apart and how deep to plant the different bulbs is shown in the accompanying chart. When the ground freezes cover with 3 or 4 inches of leaves or dry litter. Rake off after frost. Indoor culture - Plant hyacinths, tulips and narcissus in a sandy soil. Give a good soaking after planting and water once or twice a week during the time the bulb makes root. After planting keep in a dark place in the house and keep a paper bag over the pot until the sprout is about three inches long. They may then'be brought to the light and bag removed. Growing paper white narcissus IN water - Place a dozen bulbs in a shallow bowl, cover with small stones and keep filled with water. Place a few small pieces of charcoal in the bottom of the bowl to keep the water from fouling. Keep in a moderately temperate room. They require no care, no attention. They keep on growing and produce a beautiful flowering plant in about six weeks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A comprehensive, edited volume pulling together research on manipulation of the crop microbiome for climate resilient agriculture Microbes for Climate Resilient Agriculture provides a unique collection of data and a holistic view of the subject with quantitative assessment of how agricultural systems will be transformed in coming decades using hidden treasure of microbes. Authored by leaders in the field and edited to ensure conciseness and clarity, it covers a broad range of agriculturally important crops, discusses the impact of climate change on crops, and examines biotechnologically and environmentally relevant microbes. The book encapsulates the understanding of microbial mediated stress management at field level, and will serve as a springboard for novel research findings and new applications in the field. Chapter coverage includes: the role of the phytomicrobiome in maintaining biofuel crop production in a changing climate; the impact of agriculture on soil microbial community composition and diversity in southeast Asia; climate change impact on plant diseases; microalgae; photosynthetic microorganisms and bioenergy prospects; amelioration of abiotic stresses in plants through multi-faceted beneficial microorganisms; role of methylotrophic bacteria in climate change mitigation; conservation agriculture for climate change resilience; archaeal community structure; mycorrhiza-helping plants to navigate environmental stresses; endophytic microorganisms; bacillus thuringiensis; and microbial nanotechnology for climate resilient agriculture. Clear and succinct chapters contributed and edited by leaders in the field Covers microbes' beneficial and detrimental roles in the microbiome, as well as the functions they perform under stress Discusses the crop microbiome, nutrient cycling microbes, endophytes, mycorrhizae, and various pests and diseases, and their roles in sustainable farming Places research in larger context of climate change's effect on global agriculture Microbes for Climate Resilient Agriculture is an important text for scientists and researchers studying microbiology, biotechnology, environmental biology, agronomy, plant physiology, and plant protection.
