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 freely cir- 
culate. If storage is in a cement 
basement in which your heating plant 
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, if 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 visible insect. The young 
are cream, or light orange in color 
and the adult black and white. ‘They 
hop and fly considerable distances, 
so they may attack your glads when 
least expected. Because one has not 
observed thrips in one’s garden is 
no asurance that they will not get 
to your glads next summer or that
