Description: "Grey-Wilson has concentrated primarily on poppy species and forms in cultivation, together with those species of striking or particular interest that are not present in cultivation but fully deserve to be introduced. For this new edition, the author has included much new information about recent discoveries in the wild, as well as new cultivars introduced since Poppies was first published." "There are general chapters on the family, cultivation and classification, and a key to genera. The individual genera, grouped into their respective subfamilies, are dealt with, including coverage of their more specialised cultivational requirements. All the important synonyms have been included to avoid confusion or ambiguity. Botanical authorities are given for all recognised species and synonyms." "This work will be welcome to committed gardeners and horticulturalists as a source of practical and botanical information."--BOOK JACKET.
