CARE OF BULBS 
If you own or purchase bulbs in 
the fall be sure they are well dried 
or cured before putting them into 
storage. Purchased bulbs should be 
opened on receiving and inspected as 
they may mold if left tightly wrap- 
ped for any length of time. Bulbs 
in storage should be kept between 
35 to 50 degrees F., in open trays or 
boxes with the bulbs piled not more 
than 3” or 4” deep. Be careful of 
frost as they are very tender. If your 
storage room has a dirt floor (prefer- 
able) place a couple of 2x4’s under 
the boxes so air can circulate under 
the boxes. If storage is in a cement 
basement in which your heating plant 
Culture 
is situated your bulbs may dry out 
too much, reducing their vitality or 
even killing them. Watch and if the 
husk has loosened or the cleaned 
bulbs crackle and rattle when hand- 
led, place a wet burlap sack near 
them or sprinkle them lightly with 
water remembering to stir them the 
next day so that molding will not 
start among the bottom bulbs in the 
tray. Look at your bulbs often and 
repeat the above treatment every 
week or so, or as necessary. 
Unless you are sure that no thrips 
are present on your bulbs it is well 
to treat them for thrips. Thrips 
(Taeniothrips gladioli M. and S.) is a 
tiny barely visable insect. The young
