SEEDS OF UNUSUAL BULBS 
There are such a vast number of spring and 
summer-flowering bulbs that may be grown from 
autumn-sown seed, that only a few can be listed 
here. For very many more, see diverse offerings 
in the first thirty pages of my general catalog. 
No. 23. The growing of bulbs from seeds takes 
on particular interest when we realize that this, 
due to Federal Quarantine orders, is now the only 
practicable way of building up stocks of many 
of the rarer kinds.
