BULBLETS are small cormels or cormlets which grow 
at the base of the corms. Very few of these will bloom 
until grown two or more years. The resulting bloom will 
be the same variety as the parent corm. They should be 
planted not more than three inches deep in well drained, 
friable soil. All lumps or stones must be picked or raked 
off the rows, as the sprouts from the bulblets are of grass 
like size and shape and do not have strength enought to 
push up through obstacles. They require plenty of 
moisture. We believe no variety germinates one hundred 
per cent, from bulblets and we do not guarantee your 
success with them. 
Cultural directions are included with each order. 
COMMENTS -- As they grow here. 
Aida, though not as large as some, attracts attention 
by its very deep bluish purple color. 
Aflame is one of the tallest plants and largest blooms 
in the field. 
Annie Laurie does very well planted to bloom late. 
Ave Maria. A good light grayish blue. 
Bagdad. Winner among the smokies. 
Betty Nuthall. A salmon orange with yellow throat, 
tall growth. 
Chas. Dickens. One of the tallest and best purples 
or violets. 
Among the reds are Aflame, giant orange flame: Dr. 
Bennett, fiery orange scarlet; Amador, dark medium red; 
and Commander Koehl, a large very dark red. 
The yellows are covered by the earlies, Golden Frills 
and Gold Eagle. Mid-season, Kunderds Yellow Wonder, 
perhaps the most satisfactory. Golden Dream is the late 
yellow. 
Pink. Giant Nymph and Olive Goodrich bloom first. 
Longfellow is a true pink. Betty Co-ed is not so large, 
but daintly colored. Annie Laurie is the latest. The 
greatest, Picardy’s perhaps the most beautiful and largest. 
White. Marie Kunderd is the earliest. Maid of 
Orleans the best and Mammoth White the largest. 
Lavender is mostly the great Minuet - the glad by 
which all others are judged. Mrs. F. C. Peters, a few 
days later, attracts much attention by its crimson blotch 
in the throat. 
Bleeding Heart, a light pink with a conspicious dark 
red blotch in the throat is one of the best blotched 
varieties. 
Smokies. Bagdad, the largest and tallest. Marmora, 
king of the grays. Our Selection, the most open at once. 
As one lady put it “I don’t see how anyone can class that 
exquisitely beautiful Mother Machree as a smoky.” We 
had our first corms of Mother Machree presented to us. 
We asked the color. The donor answered “It is a most 
beautiful Glad, but as to color - you grow it and tell me”. 
Osalin is a wonderfully colored coral pink with soft 
orange shadings. The newer and taller Mildred Louise 
is a beautiful shade of soft orange pink. 
Orange Queen, while not so large or robust, is a very 
pleasing shade of bright, medium orange set off by red 
lines in the throat.
