CULTURE AND ADAPTATION OF THE DAFFODIL OUTDOORS. Soil and Manures.—Daffodils will thrive in any well-cultivated garden soil, but prefer a good deep well-drained loam. In preparing the ground for planting, dig deeply, and if well-rotted stable or cow manure is available, this may with advantage be dug in 15 to i8 inches deep so as not to be in immediate contact with the bulbs. Fresh stable manure should on no account b used. Where cow or well-rotted stable manure is not available a good compound manure should be used such as our Phyto- broma, see page 32 (which contains, in suitable proportions, Steamed Bone Flour, Sulphate of Potash, Superphosphate of Lime, etc.}, and be forked into the ground before or at planting time at the rate of 3 oz. per square yard ; Phytob•oma is a perfectly safe complete manure, suitable for heavy or light soils, and the best general manure for all bulbs, encouraging vigorous root action and subsequent good.
