A Few Don'ts 
Don’t leave bulbs in paper bags or cases when they are damp. 
Don’t plant bulbs in soil in which bulbs have been grown before. 
Don’t put flats or pans on top of the ground after planting. 
Don’t bury the flats or pans in a warm, sunny, too wet or too 
dry place; choose a cool sunny corner where the soil is suffi¬ 
ciently moist at all times. 
Don’t take the bulbs into the greenhouse unless well rooted and 
the buds far enough advanced.
