sunshine, well drained soil, Keep away 
-In Cutting Flowers, leave at least 4 leaves intact. 
Dip—1 tablespoon Lysol; 1 gallon water. Soak bulb 
4 to 6 hours immediately before planting. 
4 e have used and find very good the ‘‘New Improved 
Ceresan,”’ as a dip at planting time. It is very strong so 
must use with caution. 
Use 1 oz. N. I. C. with 3 gal. water add 3 tablespoons 
dreft as a wetting agent. Do not put bare hands in sol- 
ution. Soak 15 minutes, 30 minutes for bulblets. Do not 
soak longer or your bulbs will not grow. Plant while wet. 
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. 3 gallons water: Mix well, use the 50% wettable 
D. D. T. for spray and 5% for dust. 
%. Dig Bulbs about 4 to 6 weeks after varieties are done 
blooming usually in October. Store in coolest part of base- 
ment after bulbs have been dried thoroughly in shade. 
Use D. D. T. 5% for a light dusting when putting 
bulbs into storage. This will eliminate any danger of 
thrips feeding on your bulbs while in storage. But use 
the Lysol dip before planting,

are your best blooms for size and some earlier as a rule,
