TIME REQUIRED TO BLOOM 
The number of days required to bloom depends on the lati- 
tude, weather, kind of soil, size of bulbs, depth of planting, etc., 
so that I consider the tables given by some growers as unre- 
liable. I prefer to class them as EKE—extra early; E—Early; 
EKM—early medium; M—medium; LM—late medium; and 
L—late. An early variety will take about 70 to 75 days; 
medium, 85 days; and late, 95 days. These figures, however, 
are only approximate.
