It cannot be denied that often in the middle of the season there is little money in the bulbous flowers for the grower but, on the other hand, there would be more, and certainly more satisfaction, if they were grown bet- ter so as to command at least the best prices that are going. Bulbs planted in flats and exposed with only slight covering to the harsh, dry winds that frequently occur at this season, soon suffer for want of water when they begin to root. This is es- pecially the case with Paper White narcissus, the bulb being large and consequently placed close together in the flats.
