Cultural Directions 
The Way to Grow Good Glads 
CARE OF NEW BULBS—When bulbs arrive, open pack- with this pest. First, buy clean bulbs that have been 
age at once to admit air. If not wanted to plant soon, properly fumigated. If you are not sure they have been 

store in cool, dry place. A fruit cellar is just right. 
WHEN TO PLANT—When the trees native to your vicinity 
are unfolding their leaves, then all dangers of damaging 
frosts are past. From then until last of June. 
WHERE TO PLANT—In beds, rows, borders, etc., and 
among other light-rooted plants. Plant in open sunny places 
not too near buildings nor close to foundations. Buildings 
shade and retard development or reflect strong sunlight 
and burn. Lack of free drainage. sunshine and aeration as 
well as ingredients in mortar make unfertile and sour soils. 
Keep away from trees and heavy rooted shrubs especially. 
KIND OF SOIL—A sandy loam is best. Works freely, re- 
tains moisture, and is productive. Any good garden soil 
will do but some require more work to keep loose, to keep 
weeds down, etc. 
HOW TO PLANT—In springtime, use only well rotted 
manures or commercial fertilizers. Spade not less than 8 
or 9 inches deep. Open rows or trenches five inches deen, _ 
18 or 20 inches apart. Set large bulbs in trenches the width 
of the bulbs apart. Further apart if you care to, but not 
closer. Small bulbs not so deep. Five inches is deep plant- 
ing. Cover bulbs and ridge un the rows. If the soil is poor. 
cover only one inch then sprinkle liberally with sheep fer- 
tilizer or bone meals before covering and ridging. Firm 
down by walking on rows or with lawn roller to eliminate 
air pockets around the bulbs. If soil is dry when planted. 
water thoroughly after planting. If planted in beds set 
bulbs about six inches apart. 
HOW TO MARK—Put in stakes and label each variety 
as planted. Use water-proof ink or lead pencil for marking 
labels. Common ink will fade from rains and watering. 
CULTIVATING—Always keep soil loose and free from 
weeds. Never permit caking or crusting of soil after rains 
or watering. Keep cultivating. The more you do, the bet- 
ter your plants and flowers for many reasons. 
FERTILIZING—If soil is poor, use plenty of sheep fer- 
tilizer, tankage or bone meal. All or each. Each has some 
content the other lacks. If soil is rich, use moderately when 
the spikes begin to show. The commercial fertilizer, Cul- 
turaid. mixed with soil in planting trench will furnish 
food thru all growing season for both bloom and bulbs. 
Water when necessary, then soak them. Sprinkling has 
tendency to draw roots up for moisture. Send the water 
down to the roots. Unless very dry, once a week is usually 
enough. 
THRIPS—Several years ago this pest caused untold dam- 
age. Thrips are easily controlled if proper precautions are 
taken. There is no reason why anyone should be bothered

treated by the grower from whom you purchased, treat 
them with napthalene flakes at the rate of 1 oz. to each 
100 large or 250 medium size. Cover container, preferably 
a shallow box or tray, with newspaper. Perforate paper 
with small holes to allow excessive gas to escape. After 
three weeks, sift out the flakes. The above treatment will 
kill both thrip and eggs. We do not recommend this treat- 
ment when the roots begin to show. as it will burn them 
and retard or stunt growth. Corrosive Sublimate (Bichlo- 
ride of Mercury) is perhaps the best known dip. Corro- 
sive Sublimate should be used at the rate of one oz. to 
7% gal. of water and the bulbs should be submerged from 
8 to 10 hours. Corrosive Sublimate soluble in hot water. 
Dissolve thoroughly in a (glass) jar of hot water before 
putting into main container. Do not use a metallic con- 
tainer. Use wooden barrel or crock. Sack and label your 
bulhs. submerge as ahove stated. Corrosive Sublimate is 
oat deadly. poison, so. great. care should be taken with=it: 
BLOOMS—Cut flower spike when first bud is open. Keep 
in water. Change water and cut end of spike off slanting 
daily. Use knife for all cutting. Shears crush and close 
channels in stem so water cannot pass through to buds. In 
cutting spikes, leave 4 to 6 leaves on plant to mature bulbs. 
DIGGING—Dig after October 1 but before heavy frosts. 
Do not wait until the leaves turn brown, dig early if vou 
want good clean bulbs. Cut off foliage close to bulb. Dry 
in open air a few days but keep from frost. Keep each 
variety labeled. 
STORAGE—Store in shallow wooden boxes or trays. Mark 
each container plainly. Store in cool, dry place. A tem- 
perature of about 40 degrees F. and humidity of 65 to 70 
per cent is best. 
REMEMBER—Good bulbs, plenty of sun, food, water and 
cultivating is all you need to raise prize winning blooms. 
The growing plants must be sprayed starting when leaves 
are 5 to 6 inches high and repeat each week until the bud 
spikes form. An inexpensive weak solution of Paris green 
seems the most practical this year of war priorities on the 
usual poisons. The Wisconsin State Entomology Depart- 
ment recommends 
Paris green 1 teaspoonful 
1 cup molasses 
3 gallons of water 
Mix only enough for the day’s spray—Keep mixed and 
spray fine mist on both sides of row.
