CULTURAL HINTS 
Bulbs for forcing are delivered about the middle of September. It is best to plant them at once in pots or in boxes, or if this should be 
impossible, spread them out on trays in a cool and dry place to prevent rooting. The bulbs can be planted in bulb pans or in flats, the same 
as other bulb stock. Irises require more water than any other bulbs and the soil should always be somewhat damp; however, there must be 
sufficient ventilation in the greenhouse during the period of forcing.
