you originally bought as solid-colored varieties, 
all of a sudden mysteriously decide to change to 
striped varieties. Or, they may have splotches in- 
stead of stripes. This is due to a virus disease, 
and the control is the same as for mosaic. Dig 
up and destroy the infected plants, to keep the 
virus from spreading. 
NARCISSUS BULB FLY: This large yellow and 
black fly lays its eggs directly in the bulbs, near 
the crowns. From this, maggots are hatched, 
which in turn work on the bulbs, making them 
soft, mushy, and light in weight. About the only 
thing to be done is to destroy the infected plants. 
HOWEVER, this fly really seldom bothers small 
gardens, and there is little chance that you will 
have trouble with it. 
We have already discussed moles, mice, squirrels 
and gophers, under TIME TO PLANT. 
And now, isn’t that a tremendous list of diseases! 
The huge, round sum of four of them. Yes, 
you are going to find Tulips, Hyacinths and Nar- 
cissi very easy to grow, providing you take only 
the few precautions mentioned.

Peonies 
GOOD PLANTING STOCK is just 
as important with Peonies as for any 
other flower. Order only of a good, 
reliable nursery, and be sure of get- 
ting nice, large, healthy roots, with 
the necessary buds for starting 
me growth. 
KIND OF SOIL: Most any soil will 
do for Peonies, though they do have 
a slight preference for the heavier 
soils. But a rich, loose soil is nearly 
as good, and any soil will grow 
Peonies of finest quality if well- 
drained and fertile. Sandy soil usually 
needs more fertilizing than the heavier 
soils. In any event, the soil should 
be well-drained, and if it is not, drain- 
age should be supplied. 
This can be done by working in quan- 
tities of well-rotted stable manure, 
peat moss, or well-rotted leaf mold. 
SUNSHINE is another thing Peonies 
need. But, if your location gets the 
sun more than half the time, your 
Peonies should do well. 
SOIL PREPARATION AND FERTILIZING: 
The addition of extra fertilizer to any soil that 
you are preparing for Peonies is desirable. Meth- 
od: Spade your soil well, to a depth of one or two 
feet, then add a little of your fertilizer, fork the 
soil over, add more, fork it over, and continue 
this process until the fertilizer is well worked in. 
Never use fresh animal fertilizer, but good, well- 
rotted stable manure is fine, or other well-rotted 
animal fertilizers, with the one important excep- 
tion of chicken manure. Work in about 4 or 5 
bushels per 100 square feet of soil. 
Good phosphorous fertilizers are also good with 
the manure. Superphosphate can be added at the 
rate of about 3 lbs. to 100 square feet of soil. It 
can also be used alone at the same rate, but the 
animal fertilizers are desirable with it.
