Note how the little bug above is having a 
good time feeding on the weed at the left. 
But, pull that weed, and he must go else- 
where, and your flowers are safe, and further, 
your flowers will get the benefit of the plant 
food the weeds would consume. 
(2) Give your flower garden at least a reason- 
able amount of cultivation. Yes, you may 
see that crust on top of your soil, but do you 
realize its danger? It not only allows moisture 
to escape, but prevents air from penetrating 
to the roots or bulbs, and air is the most im- 
portant disease-preventive. Most diseases find 
it distasteful, and will not thrive where it is 
present. Keep that crust well broken. 
HERE ARE THE PRINCIPAL DISEASES 
that might cause you trouble: 
Botrytis or Fire Blight: This causes smallish 
green spots on the leaves of your Tulips, 
which gradually grow larger until leaves turn 
yellow. Then blooming decreases and many 
buds fail to mature. Remedy: Simply remove 
and burn infected leaves and stems. Then, 
if disease is bad, remove bulbs to a clean lo- 
cation. 
Botrytis or Fire Blight is usually prevented 
by burning leaves and rubbish before it has 
a chance to appear. 
Mosaic: Look for this if you seem to have 
new varieties among your Tulips, as the dis- 
ease causes them to change color. This is not 
due. to mixing or reverting’, it 1s°the dis- 
ease that causes a change. Remedy: Dig up 
and destroy infected plants, this does not 
save those particular plants, but it does stop 
the disease from spreading. 
Striping: This is really not the name of a 
disease, but a symptom. Varieties which you 
originally bought as solid-colored suddenly 
change to striped varieties. Or, splotches 
may appear. Cause: A virus disease. Control: 
Same as for Mosaic. Dig up and destroy in- 
fected plants. 
Narcissus Bulb Fly: This large, yellow and 
black fly lays its eggs directly in the’ bulbs, 
near the crowns. Then maggots are hatched, 
which work on the bulbs, making them soft, 
mushy, and light. Destroy infected plants. 
NOTE: This fly really seldom bothers small 
gardens, and probably you will have no trou- 
ble with it. 
And now, isn’t that a huge list of diseases! 
Four of them! Yes, you will find Tulips, Hya- 
cinths and Narcissi very easy to grow.
