IN SEPARATE COLORS. VERY BEST QUALITY.
For bedding out doors, and also for forcing. They do not, however,
produce as fine large spikes as the Second and First size named varieties.. We
ispecially recommend the Second size named varieties for forcing, as they are
more profitable and certain to produce large flower heads.
P. S. — Do not compare these First Quality Bulbs with sacb
as are offered at a loM'cr price. The size we quote wiU produce
