For Greenhouse, Garden and Naturalizing 
Special! 
Pre-Cooled Narcissi 
for 
Christmas and New Year Flowering 
The varieties listed under this heading are the most suitable for early 
forcing and the bulbs are especially prepared and kept by us in cool 
storage. We ship them during the first or second week of October, 
depending upon weather conditions. These bulbs must be potted or 
planted immediately upon receipt by the customer, and buried in a 
shady, cool place, and covered with about 4 inches of soil and 8 inches 
of straw or hay, or they may be placed in a cool bulb cellar, but the 
temperature must not be allowed to get over 50 degrees. Watering 
should be watched carefully, as they must not be allowed to get dry. 
The all-important thing is not to expose the bulbs to a higher tempera¬ 
ture than 50 degrees before planting, and while they are rooting. The 
proper time to bring them into the greenhouse can best be decided by 
growth and root development. They must be well-rooted and most 
important of all the flower-bud inside the foliage must be entirely free 
and out of the neck of the bulb. Most varieties should have reached 
that stage by the middle of November or December 1st. When brought 
in they may safely be forced at 60 degrees right from the start and 
should bloom in 3 to 5 weeks. 
In the following varieties only: 
Pre-Cooled, King Alfred. The finest and most satisfactory gold¬ 
en yellow Trumpet Daffodil for early forcing. Our special Pre-Cooled
