introductions), my supply is limited and in some varieties and items very limited. 
As will be noted, in some varieties my stock is so small that I must limit sales to 
one or two bulbg to a customer. Probably I should not offer these at all, but I 
know they are something many of you would like to get as soon as possible. So 
in order that you may benefit, I will sell a few although I) should probably wait 
another year until I increase my stock. By selling only these bulbs which have 
been hand dug, cleaned, and graded by myself and properly cured and cared for, 
I know I am sending you quality bulbs that should give excellent results. In addi- 
tion to this the bulbs for every order are selected and packed by myself. My files 
contain a great number of fine letters commenting on the quality of my bulbs.

BULBLETS — By purchase of bulblets your new additions are purchased at the 
lowest possible cost. You can purchase varieties which you otherwise might con- 
sider too expensive and you will be surprised how quickly a few bulblets will get 
you started. By the purchase of bulblets you should not expect too many blooms 
the first year but many times you are happily surprised. Neither are you going to 
get the size spike you will get from the larger bulb the next year. Even though I 
have just suggested the purchase of bulblets, I feel that I should also give a word 
of caution. If handled properly some varieties will germinate almost 100 per cent, 
while other varieties will germinate a much smaller percentage and therefore it is 
not possible for me to make any guarantee whatsoever as to germination or growth. 
And furthermore not all varieties produce large bulblets and neither is it necessary 
to have large bulblets to get good germination, but they should be good, plump, 
mature ones. I will always send good mature ones and the largest available. In 
my opinion, to get best results they should be pealed or cracked before planting 
and then planted right away before they become dry or hard. I also believe that 
better germination is obtained if not planted until the ground becomes warm enough 
Y ie prompt germination. I have a reputation for sending out highest quality 
ulblets.
