Winter Care of Bulbs 
| suppose now that you have your bulbs all cleaned they should be stored in as cool a place as 
possible. A good temperature is around forty. But cooler than that is alright and somewhat warmer 
doesn’t do any harm. ; ica 
Do not take the husks off the bulbs tho you can remove them in the spring just before planting if 
you want fo make sure there are no disease spots on the bulbs. But they need the husks to keep them 
during the winter. ; 
It is well to dust them also with DDT dust. This will kill all thrips and thrips’ eggs and you will 
know that your bulbs are perfectly clean of insects at planting time. However.at planting time you 
should soak them in Delbetar or some other fungicide as per instructions in the instruction sheet which 
goes with each order.
