Liftin § Daffodils. 
It is only those varieties of Narcissi or 
Daffodils which. produce offsets freely 
that may be lifted annually, and even 
with shese it is not absolutely necessary. 
What is meant by the annual lifting and 
drying encouraging increase is that by 
this means itis possibleso to separate 
and plant tho offsets that the stock is 
increased more quickly. To dry bulbs of 
Narcissi in general after lifting them is 
not good practice, especially if they are 
kept some weeks out of the ground. They 
should be lifted, divided, and planted at 
once. The fact that your small offsets 
dried up shows that drying and keeping 
small bulbs. out of the ground is not 
advisable, nor is the separating and 
planting of very small offsets according 
to the variety to be recommended.
