Title: RHS Daffodils, Snowdrops & Tulips Yearbook is now out
Post by: Paddy Tobin on November 14, 2009, 06:39:27 PM

Chris Sanham, ("Snowdropman"), has just dropped me a line to say that the RHS daffodils, Snowdrops & Tulips Yearbook is out. He also mentioned that in the little publicity note, that accompanied Ronald Mackenzie's catalogue, it says that this year there are a record number of photo's of snowdrops, plus 6 article & some 'snippets'.

Mark - Last year I got a copy from Mr J. Akers. Does he have email as the shipping cost may have changed?

Hagen, thanks for that, do I take it then that I can order a copy from any book seller?

I think, yes, David. Only here in Germany it`s a problem to order English books.

Thank you, Chris, for bulking out the information. I should have asked you the obvious question before posting and saved you the bother. Details of postage cost to areas outside the U.K. would be welcome.

I find it particularly wonderful that some of the contributors are forum members. It adds a great interest for me to read their work.

My copy arrived early last week - I would say it is the most 'snowdrop' filled copy of the Daffodil book ever.   ;D 

And some new contributors writing articles - ( for some reason the names look familiar ;) )

John & Paddy - as promised I have checked out the prices to your respective countries - £9.00 or 10 Euro's for Ireland, £13.35 for Canada.

I have also updated my earlier note, which now shows the all inclusive price for anywhere in the world.

JohnW,
Distribution is being carried out this year by John Gibson - e-mail address :-
gibbo.john@virgin.net       I think you can get from him at a better than list price of £11.95. There are also good articles about the autumn flowering Narcissus species  - the N. serotinus/ N. miniatus/ N. obsoletus/N. deficiens controversy - should still keep botanists busy for a while!

Just home from work and the 2011 yearbook has arrived.  I've only had a very quick flick through but there look to be a few articles, and some lovely pictures, on 'drops for me to peruse in bed tonight.

Available from the same name and address that Chris gave below - but now £9.25 (EURO 15) made payable to 'the Royal Horticultural Society'

John, thanks for that. Since you have your copy I take it that you subscribe in some way. How do I go about it rather than my having to order a copy on an annual basis please?

Hi David

I just order it when I hear it is out.  Usually an advertising insert arrives with a catalogue around November/December and I send cheque in the post. 

Except for the year that Chris had one of my photos published in it and a free copy dropped through my letterbox unexpectedly.  ;D
