General Notes, 
Plant early. October is hone to early. 
Don't water continually. Soak up occasionally and leave alone as long 
as soil is barely moist. 
Don't use coarse, rank manure, either barnyard or other. 
Don't force too much, the longer the growing season the better. 
Don't water after blo'.rnintr — dry off, and if they cannot be kept dry, 
take up and )ay away in a dry blaee. 
Don't think because California is a warm country that the winter climate 
is hot. The ground is often frozen sti ft for a week at a time where these 
bulbs are native, and heat is to be avoided until the time of blooming. It 
will not hurt them if the leaves are occasionally frozen stiff.
