DAFFODILS PREPARED FOR EARLY FORCING 
A special process of curing and precooling shortens the growing 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 Christmas and throughout the holiday season. The bulbs should be 
potted immediately on receipt and buried cutside 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 sufficiently advanced that they may be noticed inside the foliage. 
The bulbs should not be brought into the greenhouse until they have developed to 
the point where the buds have appeared through the neck of the bulb. In the green- 
house at a temperature of 60 degrees they will bloom in from four to five weeks.
