fine the classifications to those species that produce what 
are technically bulbs, but instead everything that is com¬ 
monly called a bulb has been included; indeed anything 
that has bulb-like characteristics, and that may be handled 
as a bulb.

ures.” Some mighty interesting things are there. 
SALMAGUNDI 
Salmagundi doesn't always mean pickles. Dictionary 
gives one meaning of it as “a medley,” and that surely 
describes this particular Salmagundi. It is a mixture of a 
little, sometimes more, of about everything I list; annuals, 
rockery perennials, border perennials, bulb seeds, wild flow¬ 
ers, house plants, succulents, Cacti, Irises, Lilies, Roses, 
even tree, vine and shrub seeds. You are likely to find 
almost anything in it, and probably will. The seeds are 
year old, mostly. That means in this season of 1935-1936 
that they are largely of the autumn harvest of 1934, where¬ 
as new crop seeds are of harvest of 1935. They won’t all 
grow, but a whole lot of them will; and if you can’t get 
enough out of a sowing, considering low price, and the 
rarity of many of the kinds, to make it worth your while, 
I am afraid there is not much hope for you as a gardener. 
No guarantee, though. Salmagundi is the answer to where 
old seeds go. Not less than 54 oz. sold. 54 oz. 20c; 54 oz. 
35c; 1 oz. 60c; 54 lb. $2.00; 1 lb. $7.00.
