5.0 out of 5 stars a must have for all daylily lovers, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hemerocallis: The Daylily (Paperback)

If you love daylilys you will enjoy this book and if you are just getting interested in daylilys then you will really learn some valid info. Mr. Munson was one of the best hybridizers in the business. As an owner of a retail daylily business, I use this as a reference when ordering plants or just to refer to for some valid information,

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference Book, November 9, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Hemerocallis: The Daylily (Paperback)

Although this book concentrates heavily on cultivars introduced by Mr. Munson, it is an excellent book. It contains beautiful pictures, discuses how to breed, cultivate and grow daylilies and makes a great coffeetable book. A pleasure to pick up, look at and browse through time after time. Great winter reading for those in the North who long to garden year round.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reference and cross-pollenination techniques., April 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hemerocallis: The Daylily (Paperback)

This book is a valuable reference for someone who is just starting to set up their own cross-pollenination program. Thanks to this book I can proceed with my dream of my own line of cultivars.
