Forcing of Bulbs

Bulbs can be forced to bloom indoors earlier than they normally would outdoors in the garden or yard. The easiest bulbs to force are crocus, galanthus, hyacinth, narcissus, scilla, and tulip. A nurseryman can tell you the varieties that are best suited for forcing. forcing bulbs includes two phases. The bulbs develop buds and roots in the first phase and bloom in the second. YOU SHOULD begin the first phase in October or early November. Plant the bulbs in pots and keep them at a temperature of 40 degrees F. for 8 to 12 weeks. During this phase, you -..can keep the potted bulbs

outdoors or in a cold room indoors If you keep your bulbs indoors. the room must be dark and kept at 40 F. Do not let the soil in the pots dry out; water the bulbs every day. THE SECOND phase begins about mid-January after shoots have appeared on the-tmlbs. When the shoots are well out of the neck of the bulbs, bring the buibs into a cool, bright room that can be kept at 55 degrees F. They will bloom in about one month. You may refrigerate crocus, hyacinth, narcissus. and tulip bulbs at 40 F. for two months instead of planting them in pots. At the end of two months, plant the bulbs in bowls and start them in the second phase of development. You should discard bulbs that you force. They seldom grow and flov&r well when replanted in the garden. % a The color of tulips includes nearly two-thirds of the spectrum, making it the most colorful of ^11 flowers. Some tulip varieties have aTragrance that challenges any rose. There are over 100 species of tulips with thousands of varieties.
