Digging: Bulbs blooming in July can be dug six weeks after blooming. Those 
blooming in September will mature in four weeks. Dig plantings before ground 
freezes. Dig with a fork, lift out plant, cut top off flush with bulb, place in 
shallow trays (boxes) not over four inches deep. (Burn tops when dry). Do 
not leave in hot sun, protect from frost. Dust with 5% D.DUT. After drying 
three to five weeks, remove old bulbs from new. Burn old bulbs. Do not re- 
move husk from new bulbs. When clean and dry, dust again thoroughly. 
Storing: Store in cool, dry part of basement, 35° F., to 45° F. is about right. 
Bulbs stored under moist conditions will be more susceptible to disease and 
storage rot.
