Parks Floral Magazine Vol 53 PDF Download

Excerpt from Park's Floral Magazine, Vol. 53: A Monthly Journal of Floriculture; April, 1917 The leaves should be well matured by autumn, and water should be gradually withheld until the leaves flag or droop. Then give a slight watering, enough to refresh the foliage, and withhold water again, until the wilting appear ance, then repeat. This alternate watering and drying should be continued for one month, during which time the temperature should range from 50 to 60 degrees. The plant can then be given a temperature 10 degrees warm er, and encouraged to grow by watering freely as before, and keeping the atmosphere moist. The plants will then soon come into bloom, and the blooming period will last for several weeks. When the flowers fade the foliage will develop, and watering should be continued un til the full growth and maturity of the foliage. The bulb can then be shifted into a still larger pot and given a season of rest as before. Thus treated, a single bulb will soon form a clump, and the older the clump the more flowers will be produced.
