narcissus and the Chinese sacred
lily, also a variety of narcissus, i
Some degree of bloom may be
obtained from these bulbs by
merely placing them in bowls of
pebbles and water in suitable
light.
Best results, however, are
gained by placing six or more
bulbs in a bowl which is then
stored in a dark, cool spot for
three or four weeks. This holds

bloom approximately five weeks
after starting. Water level should
be maintained, and if the
temperature can remain near 60
degrees the flowers will be at
their best for several weeks•
