it may also cause them to blast if too warm. Better keep them cool until buds show. 
Then not over 70° in day time. Set pots in a sunny window. 
Trumpet Daffodils 
These are familiar to all, yet a few persist in calling them Jonquils, a name which 
can be correctly applied only to Narcissus jonquilla. Trumpet Daffodils do well in 
most climates except the tropics. They should not be planted in S. Florida. 
By growing most of our own, we have been able to make some reductions in our 
Daffodil prices this year for equally large bulbs. When one compares prices of Daffodils, 
he must also compare size, quality and healthfulness. One grower lists a bulb at 15c. 
Another lists it for 25c. If the 15¢ bulb gives one flower and the 25c bulb gives two, 
the latter was more reasonably priced. 
Try a few of the newer Daffodils, even tho one should depend on that old, fine 
and less expensive sort, King Alfred, for the large quantity of flower production. The 
magnificent large pure white flowers of Beersheba will thrill you. But don’t force it. 
Plant very expensive ones in the garden to increase in size and number. Forced 
Daffodils must be planted in the garden the next year to recover.

Polyanthus Narcissus. The flowers are in clusters. These are hardy only in mild 
climates, as far north as Ark., Okla. and N. Car. Large bulbs force easily in pots and

to medium sizes should be planted only in the gardens in the south where some of them 
should flower the first year and become large for second year’s flowering.
