HARDY BULBS AND PLANTS 
For Autumn Delivery 
The kinds offered here may, or should, all be planted in 
the autumn, to blossom the following spring, or, in the case 
of forcing bulbs, during this coming winter. Usually avail- 
able, unless otherwise stated, from early September until] 
past the middle of November, but better mention an alter- 
native kind or two on orders sent in after the middle of 
October, for naturally stocks of some sorts become depleted. . 
Garden hardiness may be inferred, unless statement or im- 
plication to contrary appears, but this means hardiness in 
the climate of Philadelphia, and in colder or more difficult 
areas a greater or less degree of winter protection, as 
with straw or leaves, or by other means, may be desirable 
with some species. : 
All bulbs will be the full blooming size natural to that 
particular kind, but note, please, that certain kinds are 
always tiny, as Calochortus, Brodiaea and the like, even 
though their flowers be large. That’s the way they are 
made, and there is nothing we can do about it.
