A flat measuring 12x18x14 inches will accommodate three to four dozen bulbs. 

 Water thoroughly and place under cover, either in a frame or buried in the open ground 

 under light soil or salt hay until rooted. Polyanthus varieties root in six weeks; 

 trumpet varieties in ten to twelve weeks. 



After rooting, take the flats into a cold shed (temperature 45 to 60), keeping 

 them there until the foliage and buds are well up. From this cold shed they can 

 be brought in for forcing as required, in a temperature of 60 to 65
