ARASAN 
All our bulbs are dusted with a mixture of Arasan and D.D.T. 
at the time of cleaning. Our newly purchased bulbs are dusted with 
straight Arasan before they are planted. We believe this is one rea- 
son we have such a good disease control. Arasan is convenient and 
much easier to use than a dip. We put a few bulbs in a bag, a 
spoonful or two of Arasan, we shake the bag thoroughly a few times 
and each bulb comes out with a coating of Arasan. No harm is done 
if you cannot plant them right away. With the large number of bulbs 
we have to plant, the time saved by this method is very great. 
We have eight ounce cans available if you want them. The 
cost is $1.00.

ward to a point. The flowerhead must match the handle too, in order 
to be well balanced. A tall spike with a short flowerhead should 
not be classed as well balanced, nor would a spike with a lot of

be so classed.
