In fact some prefer No. 3 to No. 1 in some varieties. A variety that naturally has a tendency to crook sometimes will give a better bloom and better spike from a medium bulb than from a large one. Though to a person accustomed to buying bulbs in the chain stores the small size may look too insignificant to produce blooms you will be surprised at the fine blooms they will produce. Occasionally you strike a variety that will not produce 100% bloom from these smallest sizes but in most kinds they will bloom satisfactorily though perhaps three or four weeks later. In filling orders for bulblets by the package we give assorted sizes of bulblets, mostly medium, but in the newer varieties or where they are sold in small quantities we pick out the largest ones to be had though some kinds do not naturally make large bulblets under any conditions. Size has nothing whatever to do about the germinat- ing qualities. Small ones may germinate just as well as large ones. Extra Large Bb. Large Bb. Medium Btr. Small Bb.
