BULBS FOR FORCING 
DAFFODILS PREPARED FOR EARLY FORCING 
A special process in curing and precooling shortens the grewing 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 Caristmas and throughout the holiday season. 
The bulbs should be potted immediately 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 suf- 
ficiently 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.
