Planting Time—April 1 to June 25.

from buildings, trees and shrubbery, stir soil often. 
Planting Depth__Bulblets, 2 inches, small size 3 inches; 
medium 3 to 4 inches, large 4 to 6 inches. Rows—2 to 
3 feet apart. 
In Cutting Flowers, leave at least 4 leaves intact. 
Lysol Dip—1 tablespoon Lysol; 1 gallon water. Soak 
bulbs 4 to 6 hours immediately before planting. 
6. Thrip Spray—2 oz. 50% wettable D.D.T. to 3 gallon 
water. Mix well and spray weekly after 4 or 5 leaves 
appear till blooming starts. Also use D.D.T. spray, 2 ozs.

D. D. T. for spray and 5% for dust.

blooming usually in October. Store in coolest part of base- 
ment after bulbs have been dried thoroughly in shade.

bulbs into storage. This will eliminate any danger of 
thrips feeding on your bulbs while in storage. But use 
the Lysol dip before planting, 
BULB SIZES—Large bulbs are 114 inch and up. These 
are your best blooms for size and some earlier as a rule, 
and are designated by the letter “L.”

season, and keep weeds down. You will be surprised at 
your returns,
