No. 3 MEDIUM. No. 5 No. 6 SMALL SIZES OF BULBS These pictures show the average size of bulbs. No. 1 will often run larger than this. For the very best bloom the large sizes should be chosen. Sometimes there is not a great deal of difference between the blooms from No. 1 and No. 2. Some varieties do not natur- ally make a large bulb. Medium bulbs will give you very fine bloom. Many growers prefer No. 4 to any other size. Small bulbs will most all bloom and will give very creditable flowers and make fine large bulbs for another year. Personally I like No. 3 size. I would very much prefer a young No. 3 bulb to a large old one, such as are often sold in cheap collections and in chain stores, tho to the novice the very large bulbs look the best. If the largest bulbs are used for exhibition flowers all eyes but one should be cut out. My packages of bulblets and in bulk will be mostly medium size. In small quantities es- pecially of the newer varieties I send out extra large or jumbos as far as possible though some varieties never make anything larger than medi- um sized bulblets though they germinate well.
