Hints on Growing Daffodils 
Like all other bulbs, narcissi-daffodils repay us for giving 
them the proper care by producing more and better flowers. 
Start with good bulbs; this almost guarantees flowers for the 
first year. See that the soil is well prepared. This means deep 
digging and plenty of plant food, especially phosphates and 
potash. Early planting is advisable. September is the best 
month for most parts of the country Cover the tops of the 
bulbs about 4 inches, and in cold climates mulch well after 
the ground has frozen. It is a mistake to leave the bulbs too 
many years without resetting them. They become crowded and 
fail to bloom. About every third year, dig the bulbs when the 
tops have ripened. Store in a cool, airy place and reset in the 
fall. Never move the bulbs before or during blooming time as 
it will injure their growth very severely. 
Forcing of Daffodils 
Daffodils are very easily forced and if a little care is exer- 
cised you can have beautiful flowers in mid-winter. Pot up 
the bulbs in September or October in any good garden soil. 
Place pots in trench out doors, covering top of pots at least 
four inches. Be sure that they have plenty of moisture at all 
times, but with good drainage. Do not bring the pots in very 
early—December 20th to January Ist is usually early enough 
for the first ones, then at intervals through January and Feb- 
ruary. Do not give daffodils much heat—50 to 55 degrees F. 
is enough at night with 60 in the daytime. Minister’Talma is 
one of the best for early forcing. King Alfred is excellent, 
but may get too tall. Other varieties much used are Victoria, 
Silver Star, Sir Watkin, Helios and Twink. Almost any va- 
riety can be used in pots for later flowering.
