As the area Is uniquely adapted to the growing of illy bulbs, the kind most adapt able for Kaater forcing, and thla year's crop Is bringing on many large bulbs, the members are pool ing part of their digging and selling them, mail order, through a 'Nation al advertising plan, All the profits from the venture will be turned into a fund for reconstructing and furnishing a mess hall the organi sation bought at Camp White and has already trucked across 160 miles of Oregon mountain road. The post Is set up to make ship menu of one to thousands of over size bulbs, each package containing simple instructions for further growing. Indoors or out. anywhere In the country. The grower's name and address will also go Into each package. Previously, there have not been enough bulbs to supply the home gardener, the florist taking the whole crop, and this Is the first time these widely advertised hvbrtd Illy bulbs have been made available to the oubllc. They were all propa eated from a single sport developed bv the late Svdnev Croft. In 1M5. The bulbs make ideal, living gifts. M. 8.
