Plant tn the Autumn — Enjoy tn the Spring 
new location. If the rot is just starting 
or if the trouble is a foliage disease, it 
may be stopped by use of some of the 
insoluble copper compounds sold under 
various trade names. Kopper King is 
one that has been tried in and around 
Shreveport and found to be effective, 
either as a dust or spray. 
BULBOUS IRIS. Include the Dutch 
and Spanish Iris and have slender, 
graceful stems, with beautiful flow- 
ers, the charming color combinations, 
not surpassed by any orchid. They 
should be planted from September 
until Christmas and are very effec- 
tive planted as a background for 
daffodils, or in groups among shrub- 
. bery. 
RANUNCULUS. This beautiful glob- 
ular shaped flower is gaining pop- 
ularity in the South and can be 
planted any time from September 
until March out of doors. The roots 
should be soaked between wet burlap 
until sprouted and planted “claws 
down,” covering about 2 inches. 
ANEMONES. Very brilliant poppy- 
like flowers in shades of blue. Best 
planted in fall, but can be planted as 
late as March. Cover bulbs 2 to 4 
inches deep in moist, but well drained 
soil. 
NARCISSI and DAFFODILS. Narcissi 
are an indispensable factor in the 
floral beauty of early spring. There 
are many types for all purposes. The 
large trumpet varieties such as King 
Alfred are often referred to as Daf- 
fodils and may be grown as specimen 
plants grouped among your shrub- 
bery or naturalized under the trees. 
When used for naturalizing they 
should be lifted and divided every 
two or three years for continued 
bloom. The cluster Narcissi such as 
Paperwhite and Laurens Koster be- 
long to the Poetaz type and are very 
fragrant. The Poeticus group or “the 
Poets’ Narcissi’’ has broad white pet- 

Tulips and Pansies 
als and deep yellow cups and are WE WILL BE GLAD TO TRY AND 
usually one or two flowers to the @ET ANY RARE BULB YOU MAY 
stem. Jonquils are very. small and WANT IF NOT ALREADY IN STOCK 
fragrant with small reed-like foliage, 
significant of old fashioned gardens. 






















Plant Narecissi in any well drained 
soil from September to January, cov- 
ering them with about 4 inches soil on 
top of the bulb. 
TULIPS should not be planted until the 
soil is thoroughly chilled, as either 
warm or dry weather immediately 
after planting will injure the root 
formation of the bulb. (The best 
time to plant Tulips is from Novem- 
ber 1 to December 15). Cover bulbs 
with four inches soil and space six 
to eight inches apart. 
HEMEROCALLIS or DAY LILIES. 
One of the most satisfactory garden 
flowers. Propagated by root divi- 
sions, of easy culture growing in most 
any type of soil and location. Not 
known to be attacked by any insect 
or fungus disease. Many new varie- 
ties now give a wide range of color. 
Long blooming periods from early 
spring until frost.
