TO KEEP NARCISSI DORMANT. 



How shall I care for Paper White 

 narcissus bulbs to keep them dormant 

 until the last planting f The bulbs be- 

 gin to grow after a few weeks and we 

 are forced to plant them. K. G. — Kan. 



I find the best plan is to place all the 

 Paper Whites in flats as soon as re- 

 ceived. By holding the flats in a cold 

 cellar just clear of freezing in winter, 

 we held some bulbs until early in May 

 last season. C. W.
