ARE WE GETTING THE MOST 
out of our lives—out of our gardens, out of our 
purchases when we spend our hard earned 
money? 
To get the most out of life we must enjoy 
ut with all of the beauties that are here for us. 
Real life enjoyment is a deep satisfaction—not 
just a quick grab at so called fun that is here 
today, gone tomorrow. It is the better things of 
Life. A happy family—a family that likes to do 
things together, a happy church life. One who 
does not feel the satisfaction of close church 
connections—who does not share with and work 
in a church group can not know what complete 
deep down happiness is. True, we can and most 
of us are happy with our families and we love 
them. We are happy with our flower gardens 
and perhaps with a hobby and with friends but 
without our church devotion and the church 
fellowship we have a huge gap in our lives. If 
you haven’t found this to be true then you 
haven't found the right church or you haven't 
put forth enough effort in that direction. 
SEEDLING SPECIAL 
How about those old flat bulbs? Well, to 
begin with, they will almost always bloom. The 
flower spike won't be as nice as a smaller young 
bulb an1 it may not produce another satisfac- 
tory bulb next year but it usually does. If it 1s 
an old flat bulb of an obsolete variety it isn’t 
even worth carrying home if you get it free. 
If it 1s a good variety, however, you can harvest 
the bulblets off of it the next year and grow 
some young bulbs of this variety. 
Many people write and ask me what seedlings 
are. Seedlings are new varieties which are 
grown from seed rather than bulblets. The seed 
forms in pods up on the stem where the flower 
is attached. No two will be alike. After the 
seedling blooms it can be increased after that 
from bulblets which form under the ground. 
Sometimes after propagating a seedling for a 
couple of years—a seedling that is better than 
anything else on the market—you find in your 
seed patch another seedling which is still better 
so that there 1s nothing to do but discard the 
first one. Also out of a patch of 25,000 seed- 
lings one just doesn’t have time to tag more 
than a couple of hundred of the best ones. The 
rest must be put into mixed, for sale as mixed 
seedlings. There are literally hundreds of these 
that are big improvements over existing varte- 
ties. This is what I am selling in my mixed seed- 
lings. I have about 5,000 of these that are flat 
bulbs, they will bloom and if you get a world 
beater you can take the bulblets and get young 
bulbs from your own stock. Because they are 
old bulbs and flat, just ask for flat seedlings— 
90c dozen; 50 for $2.95; 100 for $4.95 post- 
paid. Out of 100 you are sure to get several 
that are better than anything else today.
