OUT Bah OUR 
. Plant in the spring, 4 feet apart in 
Dewberries rows and space rows 7 feet apart. 
Cover the roots with 1% to 2 inches of soil. 
Leave the evergreens in the package 
Evergreens in which you receive them until you 
have the holes dug and are ready to plant. Ever- 
green roots must never be exposed to the sun or air. 
If you take them out of the package before planting, 
be sure and put the roots in a bucket of water or 
cover with a wet sack. Take the plants from the 
package and set an inch or two deeper than they 
were in the nursery. Spread the roots out naturally 
and press soil firmly. Give Evergreens plenty of 
water. They can be pruned or sheared each spring, 
and also during the summer if necessary. Perfectly 
hardy. Evergreens require no winter protection. Keep 
dogs away from Evergreens. A can of Dogzoff usually 
lasts a whole season. It is guaranteed to keep dogs 
away. ow

Gladiolus up. Plant the large size bulbs 5 to 6 
inches deep and 4 to 8 inches apart. Plant the smaller 
size 4 to 5 inches deep. Glads bloom 10 to 11 weeks 
after planting. If you plant at intervals of two weeks 
apart you will have flowers over a longer period. Also 
the small size bulbs bloom later than the larger bulbs. 
Glads like a sunny location. They grow everywhere, 
but of course richer ground will produce larger flowers 
and taller spikes. If you rub* off the outside husk of 
of the bulb it will bloom quicker. 
In the fall when the tops begin to die, dig the bulbs. 
Cut off the old tops. Clean off the dirt. Save the 
small bulblets. Plant them next spring, 114%, inches 
deep and they will grow into blooming size bulbs. 
Store the bulbs in a fairly cool, dry place, above freez- 
ing. 
Gladiolus are sometimes attacked by small insects 
known as THRIPS, which ruin flowers and make 
streaked foliage. Simplest for the home gardener to 
use is the lysol treatment of bulbs before planting. 
Use one teaspoonful of lysol to each quart of water, 
or four tablespoons for three gallons of water. Soak 
bulbs in this solution for at least three hours but no 
longer than six. Then plant at once, while the bulbs 
are still wet. 
If Thrips come during the summer, spray with Tar- 
tar Emetic (this is a poison, so be careful). Put two 
ounces (41% teaspoonsful) of Tartar Emetic and 8 
ounces (1% cup) brown sugar in three gallons of 
water. Spray on just enough to cover the foliage 
lightly. Repeat if necessary.
