GLADIOLUS 
will succeed in almost any well-drained soil. Add some 
sandy loam to heavy soil. For best blooms plant only 
top grade new bulbs. For a succession of bloom plant at 
2-week intervals, starting in January. Plant about 3 
inches deep; 4 inches in very light sandy soil. Start fer- 
tilizing when plants are 6 to 8 inches high. Dig bulbs 
when leaves begin to turn brown, dry and store for the 
winter. Thrip damage can be controlled by spraying 
during the growing period. Consult us for the best 
spray material. 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS 
are best planted under trees where they get filtered sun- 
light, in a lath house or in garden beds where a few 
hours of morning sun will be had. Soil should be mixed 
with leaf mold, peat and well-rotted manure. GOOD 
DRAINAGE is essential. Start bulbs in pots or flats in- 
doors in February. Transplant either to pots or garden 
beds, as desired, when about 4 inches tall. Feed with 
acid plant food. WATERING is most important, espe- 
cially in the interior valleys. Besides thorough soaking 
of the soil as needed, wet the plants with a fine spray 
several times during very hot days, but not when the sun 
is shining on the plants. 
DAHLIAS 
should be grown in the sun in well-cultivated, well- 
drained soil. Plant bulbs flat, 4 inches deep, cover 2 
inches and fill in hole as sprouts grow. Cultivate deeply 
until flowering time. After that ordinary tillage is suf- 
ficient. Place bone meal at the bottom of the hole when 
planting and cover it with soil before placing the bulb. 
Plant dahlias when danger of frost is over. The bulbs 
or tubers should be stored over winter.
