High Quality Bulbs

CULTURE 
Start forcing February, March or April, depending on when you want them 
to flower. Place bulbs in flats, using light porous soil, covering them to a depth 
of 1 inch above the bulb. Be careful in watering, keeping the soil just moist, 
too much water will rot the bulbs. 
Transplant to 4-inch pots when plant begins to develop. If wanted in larger 
pots, shift when well rooted.

CULTURE 
Start bulbs in 4-inch pots using a mixture of leaf mold, sand, 
and a little well-rotted cow manure with good bottom heat. As 
the leaves appear keep»shaded and be very careful with the water- 
ing. It might be safer to use a watering can and examine each 
plant and do not water unless necessary. However, they like a 
moist soil, so make sure they do not get dry. Keep leaves dry 
although on a hot day they may be moistened early in the morning, 
but do not wet them every day or you will lose them. While they 
want a little shade do not overdo it or you will get all foliage and 
no flower.
