No personal sleight intended Jane,and I apologise that for my phrasing. I am concious that this list is public and as such read by people who unlike yourself, would not instantly recognise a Freesia corm, in their hand, as a corm. As the term bulb was used with specific referance to Freesias in the price list you quoted from, I feel that some people might infer that Freesias have bulbs rather than corms -rather than only reading the word "bulb" in its colloquial sense which is, as you suggest, a practical necsesity in terms of general referance.
