EXPLANATION OF LISTINGS 
A variety will be listed as follows: : 
ADORATION (Klein 48) . 70 days 460 
Adoration is the variety name. 
Klein is the name of the originator. 
48 stands for the year of introduction. 
70 days, is the average time from planting until blooming of a 
large bulb. Smaller sizes will take longer, 
460 is the color classification and size. 
SIZE 
“L” indicates larze size bulbs, measuring more than 1%” in diameter. 
“M” indicates a medium size bulb, ?’ to 1%” in diameter. 
“S” indicates a small bulb, under #%” in diameter. 
“B” indicates bulblets. 
Large bulbs will give you the best bloom—but they cost you more. 
Medium sizes will frequently produce good show spikes and will 
produce saleable spikes. 
Small sizes will as a rule, bloom, but the spike they produce is not 
as good as you wou'd get from a larger sized bulb. Once in a while, 
a variety will produce saleable spikes from small bulbs, but do not 
count on it. Small sizes are the cheaper, but they take a year longer 
to get the best results—as a rule, they will produce large bulbs for 
the following season. 
Bulblets or cormlets are the cheapest way of getting a start in a 
variety. but also the slowest way. With good growing conditions and 
particularly with some varieties, you may get large bulbs, but it is 
far safer to figure on getting a few medium and a number of small 
bulbs the first year. These, planted the next year, will generally give 
you large bulbs for the second year. Some bulblets are hard to ger- 
minate and you may get a very poor stand. Others will germinate 
readily. If pcssible, peel or ¢rack the hard shell of the bulblet be- 
fore planting. We ran an experiment in the greenhouse last year on 
this. A row of peeled bulblets,.a row of cracked bulblets and a row 
without any special preparation. The peeled bulblets were the first 
to appear. followed by the cracked bulblets and then by the test 
bulblets. The peeled bulblets were up two.to four inches before the 
first test bulblet was through the ground...
