BABY LILY BULBS 
Lily bulbs as usually offered, are too large, too old, and 
as a result, suffer too much from the shock of transplanting. 
In our own practice we prefer to use only young bulbs of 
but a single season growth, bulbs that will take hold in 
the new position as thpugh that had always been their 
home. Such are the bulbs offered here, sound little one- 
season stock, mostly from seeds sown early this spring or 
last fall. They are offered in run-of-the-bed grade, and 
will range from the size of a very large pea up to that of 
an English walnut, varying thus naturally from species to 
species. One is pretty sure to get at least a few blooms 
right the first year after putting out the bulbs, but not all 
will bloom so soon. By the second year, though, there 
should be a surprisingly large amount of blossoms. Inci¬ 
dentally, the cost of one-season (baby) bulbs is very much 
less than that of older stock, but that’s just bonus for 
you. We offer them, not as bargains, but because we firmly 
believe that these young Lilium bulbs will give far better 
eventual garden results than would old ones, bought full 
size. Not less than ten of a kind will be sold. No ex¬ 
ceptions can be made to this rule.
