A Wide Range of Variation 



Here are camassia bulbs small, large, and medium; thick, 

 thin, and spindle shaped. Obviously there is plenty of ma- 

 terial for selective breeding. Where such variation occurs, still 

 greater variation will be shown in some of the crossbred descendants. 

 Moreover the flavor of one, the form of another, and the size of a 

 third may be combined in a single descendant; and all the 

 good qualities may then be accentuated through se- 

 lective line breeding. The camassia promises to 

 furnish a very valuable addition to the 

 rather small list of edible bulbs.
