Unseasonable weather for several weeks at the time that bulblets should have been 
planted this year, postponed their planting and as a result, medium size bulbs were not 
produced in sufficient quantities to list. Due to excessive and prolonged rains, our planting 
stock jumped up to large bulbs. We, therefore, list only large bulbs this selling season.
