MOVING NARCISSI IN FLOWER. 



I am in a position to obtain a large 

 quantity of narcissi that are growing in 

 :in old pasture or field and are in full 

 '•loom now. This place will be used for 

 ?■ manufacturing site at once and I can 

 Have these bulbs for the taking. What I 

 ^'ant to know is the best method for 

 raiting care of them while in this condi- 



lon. I have never handled bulbs before 

 '•ncl am therefore at a loss how to pro- 



^^«- I do not want to lose this chance 

 :'t getting such a lot of bulbs for noth- 



"?, If they can safely be moved. I live 

 "1 southern Louisiana. H. M. 



inr)v»^^'® ^^. ^^ "°* a good or safe time to 

 'f^^e narcissi while in flower, if you will 



dig them carefully, preserve as many 

 roots as possible, keep them protected 

 from the sun as far as possible and then 

 lay them in shallow trenches rather 

 thickly, and sufficiently deep so that the 

 bulbs and roots are covered four to six 

 inches, you will be able to save a large 

 part of them. The trenches can be two 

 feet apart, and if in a slightly shaded 

 location, so much the better. After the 

 foliage has all died down, you can then 

 lift the dormant bulbs and store them in 

 flats in a cool shed or cellar until plant- 

 ing time in the fall, which with you 

 would be from the end of October to the 

 end of November. The bulbs should be 

 covered three to six inches, according to 

 the variety, the largest bulbed sorts re- 

 quiring the deepest covering. W. C.
