A guide for growers and collectors," Edward Austin McRae, has described his long-standing experience in lily cultivation and breeding at the Oregon Bulb Farm in the USA.

It describes the historical development of lilies, provides botanical characteristics and species descriptions, characterizes breeding from its beginnings to the present day, and offers insights into the creation of new varieties, breeding methods, and classification.
