Daffodils Ik repared for Carly Forcing 
A special process in curing and precooling shortens the growing period for forcing 
Daffodils so that they may be brought into flower at least three weeks in advance 
of the untreated bulbs. They are therefore invaluable in that they can be flowered 
for Christmas and throughout the holiday season. The bulbs should be potted im- 
mediately on receipt, and buried outside with a good mulch to keep out the frost. 
In from seven to ten weeks, depending on the variety, the flower buds will have 
become sufficiently advanced that they may be noticed inside the foliage. The bulbs 
should not be brought into the greenhouse until they have developed sufficiently 
that the buds have appeared through the neck of the bulb. In the greenhouse at a 
temperature of sixty degrees they will bloom in from four to five weeks. Varieties 
most satisfactory for this purpose are offered below; they are listed in the order in 
which they can be flowered.
