DAFFODILS 
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 outside with a good 
mulch to keep out the frost. In from seven to ten weeks, de- 
pending on the variety, the flower buds will have become suffi- 
ciently 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 greenhouse at a temperature of 60 
degrees they will bloom in from four to five weeks.
