You will get best results from the large bulbs although they 
will cost you more. 
Medium size bulbs will often produce show quality spikes, and 
will often produce saleable spikes. Growing conditions are quite a 
factor in this case. 
Small bulbs will frequently, although not always bloom_ The 
spike they produce is not top quality, but you should get a large 
ulb to grow on the next year. They are cheaper to buy if you do 
not have to have results the first year. Most smalls are grown from 
bulblets. 
Bulblets or cormelts are the cheapest way to get started in a 
variety. You should figure on only getting small bulbs from bulblets 
the first year of growing. You may be able to get large and medium 
bulbs under the best of growing conditions, and with some varieties. 
These small bulbs, grown on the next year should make large bulbs. 
Thus it takes two years to get a big bulb from a bulblet. Some 
bulblets are very hard to germinate and you may get a very poor 
stand. Other varieties seem to germinate every bulblet. Peeling or 
cracking the shell will help in germinating. Expensive bulblets 
should be peeled or cracked before planting. “They can be planted 
as early as the ground can be worked in the spring. 
A WORD OF CAUTION—Flease note that we are quoting sizes 
by diameter and not circumference. You will see some large display 
adds once in a while, offering “large” bulbs, fully one and three 
quarters inches in circumference for a very cheap price, say 100 for 
$2.00 or so. That size 1%4”’ in circumference, is properly classed as 
small. Do not be misled. Where ‘‘Pkge.’’ appears after the Bulblet 
listing, it means that the package will contain from 25 to 50 
bulblets. 
We aim to sell only quality stock, the kind we like to get and 
the kind that is worth the little extra that it costs. Our fields are 
state inspected, and our stock is state inspected before we start 
shipping. Rogueing is done regularly and any doubtful bulbs are 
pulled and burned, regardless of their cost or scarcity. This is ex- 
pensive—it kind of hurts to pull a $5.00 bulb—But it more than 
pays in satisfaction in feeling sure you are putting out clean, disease 
free bulbs.
