ACCLIMATED STOCK:- It has long Leon a recognized 
fact among plant specialists and breeders that plants 
of all kinds give "best results when transplanted under 
conditions as nearly identical to their native habitats 
as possible. Bulbs are no exception to this great 
natural lav; since the bulb houses the little plant 
which is ready to burst forth whenever the opportunity 
is presented. Split a tulip bulb from top to bottom 
and the tiny plant is easily discernable. IJo better 
example of adverse climatic effect comes to our minds 
than that of coast grown dahlias brought inland and 
especially those of the larger flowering varieties of 
the west coast. Some of these do fairly well after 
several seasons of acclimatizing but many which stand 
up well in the more humid seacoast atmosphere are not 
worth the cost of transporting to this semi-arid 
region. They lack what we term substance and any 
plant to do its best in this region must have that 
vital element. The driest, coldest, most unfavorable 
regions of the world are continually being searched 
by plant specialists for plants of hardier substance. 
If you would expect the most from plants or bulbs 
obtain them as close to home as possible.
