See for yourself as Harry Hollander takes you on an exhilarating, laugh-out-loud rollercoaster ride through the flower bulb industry-the shenanigans, the backstabbing, the police chases, and, of course, the money!

Then, fly with Harry to the States, the Middle East and Far East, Central and South America, Europe, and finally, the caladium fields in central Florida. Ride along with our hero as he desperately tries to outsmart his boss, fight off competitors, and run from the law, all while making a fortune! So go on, grab Pushing up Tulips and get your hands dirty! You'll never look at a flower bulb the same.
