roots can be removed and thrown away. Do not remove the husks on the new bulbs as 
they protect the bulb during storage. 
Storage—Store bulbs in trays or bags or boxes at a temperature of around 40 degrees. 
Give bulbs a light dusting of DDT 5%. This will eliminate any danger of thrips feeding on 
the bulbs during storage. 
Dipping, Dusting and Spraying 
Lysol Dip—4 tablespoons of Lysol, 3 gallons of water. Soak bulbs in the Lysol solution for 
between 3-6 hours; soak bulblets overnight or for 12 hours. After bulbs or bulblets are 
removed from solution, allow to drain and plant the same day as treated, preferably while 
still wet. 
Dusiing for Thrips—When the plants are in the third leaf they should be dusted with 5% 
DDT every two weeks. Best results will be obtained while the dew is still on them. 
Spraying for Thrips—] rounded teaspoon of 50% DDT, !/2 teaspoon of Dreft, 1 gallon of water. 
For larger plantings—l/p lb. of 50% DDT, 1/2 pint of liquid soap, 25 gallons of water. The 
wetitable form of DDT should be used when using a spraying material. Lysol, and DDT are 
poisonous, so take care in handling these materials. DDT dust must not be inhaled.
