The Most Complete Text Available On the Topic of Alliums,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Allium Crop Science: (Hardcover)
Well, as the first person to review the book, I feel obligated to do a good job. Yes the book is expensive, see if you can find a used copy. The two editors are well regarded in the industry and have each contributed greatly. There are 19 chapters covering everything from origins and taxonomy, to genetic transformation to onion plant pathology to a section on ornamental alliums. Each chapter has its own author or team of authors including: Currah, Rabinowitch, MJ Havey, Colin Eady, C Kik, WM Randle and many others. This is easily the most complete and comprehensive book on alliums you can place in your reference library in the botany section. Add a copy of J Brewster's Onions and Other Vegetbale Alliums and a copy of the long out of print Onions and Their Allies: Botany, Cultivation and Utilization by HA Jones and LK Mann (if you can find one) and your onion library will be about as complete as you need it to be.
