Major and Minor forms: -- Purdy says there are major and minor forms of Lilum pardalinum, as also of other lilies. Mainly differences in size but sometimes correlated with other differences -- especially bulb differences. He says all_ species of the Liliaceae can be distinguised by the bulb alone -- that the men in his garden soon learn to distinguish the bulbs at a glance. ---------- _His statement may not have been so general but it was comprehensive.
