large, 3 and 4 medium and 5 and 6 small. 
You will always get the largest bulbs we 
have of the size you order. If you order 
large size and we are out of the No. 1 size, 
then all we can do is use tne No. 2 size. 
But when this is done you will get extra 
bulbs to make up for the smaller size. 
Remember we use only good, healthy 
young bulbs in filling all orders. From these 
you can depend upon having those big, 
husky spikes you will be proud to display 
and exhibit to your friends and garden vis- 
itors. 
You can count on large bulbs to produce 
the largest blooms and spikes. Medium 
sized bulbs will nearly always bloom, 
though somewhat later and often with less 
buds on the spike. Small bulbs of most 
varieties will bloom but the spikes and 
flower heads will be shorter.
