Crockets Spring Flowering Bulbs Fall 1928 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Some Flowering Bulbs, 1928 Though success has attended our effort, we have not been exempt from accompanying difficulties, for bulbs have been attacked by insects and disease in increasing numbers during recent years. In the attempt to solve some of these problems, much experimental work has been undertaken, a report of which will be found in its proper place. Though bulbs in this bulletin will be treated in a general way, especial attention will be given to Tulips, Narcissi and Hyacinths. In an effort to determine how our bulbs would compare with others, and especially with those coming from Europe, tulips were sent to all the Experi mental Farms and Stations in Canada, with the request that they be grown beside the best imported sorts. Accompanying the bulbs were questions regarding the comparative value of the flowers. These questions were: How do the Sidney bulbs compare in size and appearance with the imported bulbs on their arrival at your farm? How do the Sidney bulbs compare with, Holland-grown bulbs (a) as to yield and vigour, (b) as to size and quality of bloom, (c) as to height, (d) as to intensity of colour of flower? In your opinion, have the Sidney-grown bulbs given you as good, better or poorer results than imported bulbs?
