OCTOBER 
For me it is bulb harvesting time and time to 
write another catalog. It’s quite a surprise to 
plant a medium size bulb and dig a jumbo 
3 inches across with 200 or more bulblets on 
it. This happens oftener than you would 
think. Let your bulbs dry a couple of weeks. 
Clean them and then dust them with 5% 
DDT. Store them where they will keep dry. 
The bishop of our ward was driving with one 
of the elders. He said, “Let’s pick up that 
hobo and preach a little gospel to him.” So 
they stopped. The hobo said, “Only two 
types of people ever pick me up, they are 
either reformers or religious fanatics, which 
are you?” It was a very quiet trip.
