Last season,as we have steted before,it was the 7th of May be- 
fore a bulb was planted.May being one of the driest months in history 
inasmuch as there was no récsord for previous years which showed--no 
rain for that month. However, we were able to cut some of the finest 
blooms we ever had, and no sprinlling system was set up.
