Sara Van Beck has a new book on old daffodils, Daffodils in American Gardens, 1733-1940. It has just been published by the University of South Carolina Press. Congratulations Sara . The American Daffodil Society takes great pride in the achievements of our members and Sara has done a fantastic job. The book has 341 pages and is filled with illustrations of all types as well as an enormous amount of information.
Sara’s New Book
A detailed review will eventually appear in the ADS Journal so I am not going to review it here. But I am sure that our members with an interest in historic daffodils must be hysterical with joy :-). If you shop for the book on-line, use Amazon and consider enrolling in the AmazonSmile program. If you do this, you can choose a charity of your choice (American Daffodil Society, Inc. naturally) and Amazon will donate a small percentage of your purchase price to the nonprofit of your choice (hopefully the ADS). You can enroll in AmazonSmile at smile.amazon.com and choose the American Daffodil Society, Inc.
