Caltural Direction 
The Way to Grow Good Glads 
CARE OF NEW BULBS—When bulbs arrive, open pack- 
age at once to admit air. lf not wanted to plant soon, 
store in cool, dry piace. A fruit cellar is just right. 
WHEN TO PLAN'1—When the trees native to your vi- 
cinity are unfolding their leaves, then all dangers of 
aamaging 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, 
retains 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 5 inches deep, 
18 or 20 inches apart. Set large bulbs in trenches the width 
of the bulbs apart. Farther apart if you care to, but not 
closer. Small bulbs not so deep. Five inches is deep plant- 
ing. Cover bulbs and ridge up the rows. If the soil is 
poor, cover only one inch, then sprinkle liberally with 
sheep fertilizer or bone meals before covering and ridg- 
ing. Firm down by walkng 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 
better 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 ferti- 
lizer, Culturaid, mixed with soil in planting trench will 
furnish food through 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 

with this pest. First, buy clean bulbs that have been 
properly fumigated. lf you are not sure they have been 
treated by the grower trom whom you purchased, treat 
them with napthalene flakes at the rate of 1 oz. to each 
100 large or 250 medium size. Cover container, prefer- 
ably 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 treat- 
ment will kill both thrip and eggs. We do not recom- 
mend this treatment when the roots begin to show, as 
it will burn them and retard or stunt growth. Corrosive 
Sublimate (Bichloride of Mercury) is perhaps the best 
known dip. Corrosive Sublimate should be used at the 
rate of 1 oz. to 7% gal. of water and the bulbs should be 
submerged from 8 to 10 hours. Corrosive Sublimate sol- 
uble in hot water. Dissolve thoroughly in a (glass) jar 
of hot water before putting into main container. . Do not 
use a metallic container. Use wooden barrel or crock. 
Sack and label your bulbs, submerge as above stated. 
—Corrosive—Sublimate_is..a_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 slant- 
ing 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 you 
want good clean bulbs. Cut off foilage 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.
