Chapter IV 
GENERAL LIST 

Temperature in our bulb storage is held within 1° F., insuring proper storage 
conditions from this standpoint. With the thermostat set at 40° we get what 
we consider ideal temperature conditions. Naturally temperature is not the 
only factor to be considered. Humidity plays another important part, and we, 
therefore, control the humidity in our modern bulb storage building. All of 
these things cost plenty of money, but we feel that it is justified in the superior 
bulbs we are able to furnish. 

Naturally with 585 varieties ‘‘popping’’ into bloom, many of them got away from us 
before we were able to classify them under the new set-up as shown in Chapters II and 
Ill. We are, therefore, listing the following in a general list and which cannot be 
classified until next blooming season.
