General Notes. 
Plant early. October is none 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 wnter after blooming — dry off, and if they cannot be kept dry> 
take up and lay away in a diy blace. 
Don't think because California is a warm country that the winter climate 
is h >t. The ground is often frozen stiff for a week at a time where the^e 
bulbs are native, and heat is to be avoided until the time of blooming. It 
will not hurt them if the leaves are occasionally f. ozen si iff.
