quires a large bulb to produce
strong, fleshy foliage and heavy
stems. Many of the moat bril-
liant wild species produce a tiny
bulb and slender leaves designed
to funnel every drop of moisture
to the roots.
There is a certain ‘feel’ or
substance to viable nursery-stock
which a gardener learns withex-
perience. Bulbs should be syme
metrical in form, unblemished
and firm in texture with a root
base inproporationto the charac-

reflection of built-in vigor at the
source with the exception of
certain plants which resent a
change of enviornment and takea
year or so to settle down, There-
fore it is esseniial to balance cost
against the reputation of vour
nurseryman and to carry out the
dlanting instructions with care
rather than sacrifice space and
labor to economy.
