Flat Bulbs vs. Conical Bulbs 
This subject, like most other things, has been much misrepresented. Some advertisers 
say “Not a flat bulb in a carload”. Such statements are made for the psychological effect 
only, and mean but little. “Facts are stubborn things,” and it is a fact that many varieties 
seldom become very flat because it is their nature to produce deep bulbs; examples, 
America, Panama and others. Then on the other hand, many of our newer and finest 
varieties produce a very flat looking bulb, even when grown from a bulblet. Of course 
what the advertiser really means is that he is offering you young bulbs instead of old bulbs. 
As a rule, a large, young bulb is preferable to a large, old bulb, but “old bulbs” should not 
be designated as “flat bulbs,” although they average more flat than young bulbs. We 
should not use the term “FLAT BULBS” at all in this connection; it is very misleading, 
in particular to that large (amateur) buying public. We should use the term “old bulb” 
or “young bulb,” never flat bulbs. Old.bulbs are not very difficult to distinguish from 
-young stock by persons of even limited experience. We produce Young Bulbs.
