PLANTING may be started as soon as the ground can be worked. 
The earlier plantings prove the most profitable from a selling point of 
view. Three or four bulbs to the foot is best. Closer planting will give 
you blooms but the bulbs need the additional space to properly develop. 
Plant bulbs from 4 to 6 inches deep, depending upon the soil. 
TREATMENT OF BULBS. It is wise to soak bulbs in a disin- 
fectant. BURN any bulbs showing evidence of rot or disease. Lysol 
is probably the easiest treatment, as Lysol can be obtained at any 
drug store. Use one teaspoonful to a quart of water, soak bulbs and 
bulblets three hours, drain and plant while still damp. New Improved 
Ceresan has also been very effective, but requires closer attention. 
Read directions very carefully before using N. I. Ceresan, and then 
follow them exactly — no deviation. Use one ounce of N. I. Ceresan, 
three teaspoons of Grasselli spreader sticker to make a paste, and then 
stir paste into three gallons of water. Dip bulbs for 15 minutes, bulb- 
lets for 80 minutes. WATCH TIME CAREFULLY. Plant promptly. 
You can also use mercuric chloride, one ounce to seven gallons of 
water. Soak 12 hours and then discard solution. In using N. I. Ceresan 
and mercuric chloride, be sure to remember that they are poison and 
handle accordingly. Use solutions in crock or wood containers as the 
chemicals act on metal.
