eases”. This is a poison, so not mailable,

NAPHTHALENE FLAKES: Price 
is 8c per pound, not prepaid, you must 
allow full amount for postage or have it 
sent express collect. Directions for use: 
Use flakes at the rate of 1 ounce (4 level 
tablespoons) for every 100 bulbs, or 1 
pound for 1000 bulbs. If you happen to 
use an overdose it will not harm your 
bulbs. Let them fumigate for four 
weeks, then remove the flakes from the 
bulbs. Do not use metal or glass of any 
kind, as this will cause dampness and 
result in damage. Also be sure to use 
the naphthalene before the bulbs sprout 
or the rootlets start growing, which 
often happens late in spring in particm 
lar in warm storage rooms. For small 
amounts of bulbs, place the bulbs in 
paper bags, add the flakes and then fold 
over and fasten tightly to retain all the 
fumes in the bag. Read our article on 
thrips. 
CRUDE NAPHTHALENE: Price 
is 5c per pound; same terms; directions, 
etc., as for flakes, see above. 
WARNING: Naphthalene should 
never be planted with your bulbs, as it 
does damage growing tissue, but does 
not harm the dry, dormant bulb. It is 
also best to let your bulbs become well 
cured or in a dry condition in the fall 
before using. Storage should be dry, 
airy and cool; below 50 F. is best. If 
colder, all the better, but keep the bulbs 
above 32 F. at all times, as below that 
point they freeze. If you fumigate 
larger lots, confine the fumes as much as 
possible. To get the best results; cover 
with canvass, paper, etc.; anything but 
metal or glass or other substance that 
would cause the bulbs to sweat. 
RAT SCENT: The greatest discovery 
in recent years, for poisoning rats, mice 
and moles, practically no odor, harmless 
to chickens, there is no bait to mix, it is 
an entire whole grain, never gets mouldy 
or wormy. Cats and dogs will not eat 
it, it comes ready prepared to use. Sim' 
ply lay it where rats and mice are likely 
to find it. Rat Scent attracts and causes 
a craving for the material. It should not 
be left laying too long, if not eaten in a 
few days pick up and burn. 35c and 
50c per box, prepaid when sent with an 
order of bulbs or other merchandise. If 
you want it sent separately, add 10c. 
HAND SPADING FORKS: These 
are small hand forks, having three tines, 
about the length of a trowel, very useful 
in the garden. We use them in lifting 
bulblet stock, after the plants have been 
loosened with a spading fork, you can 
lift all the bulbs out of the soil without 
breaking off the light tops. 45c each
