By planting small bulbs, you save much in expressage, and can soon have them blooming in large quantity at 
small cost. We planted several acres of small bulbs like these last fall and this winter and will be planting the 
remainder of them very early in the spring so as to get them in before our planting of Glads takes all our time. 
Hence if you want any of these small bulbs of Regals in quantity on this special offer, your order should be sent 
as early in February as possible. Also it would be well to send in your order early for the larger Regal Lily bulbs 
for we have them only in rather limited quantity in the larger sizes to offer this spring. 
Stem bulblets are the small bulbs which form underground and at the base of the stems growing from the 
larger bulbs. In the results obtained, we see but little, if any, difference in the planting of seedlings or stem 
Wlblets. These small bulbs should be planted about four inches deep, and the larger bulbs six to eight inches, or 
even deeper for the very largest bulbs. Plant on any good garden soil and avoid fresh fertilizers. Drainage 
should be good. If you want the best flowers, give good cultivation and some irrigation. A good mulch will take 
the place of cultivation. In storage, keep the bulbs in 'a cool place in peat moss.
