Harvest Summer Bulbs
After First Frost
Harvest time for summer bulbs
comes right after the first frost,
according to George Vapaa, County
.Agent. Dahlia, cannas, gladioli,
and tuberous begonias should ho
dug and stored for spring planting
at this time.
In harvesting dahlias, remove
the tops to within six inches of
the ground, dig around the plant
to loosen the soil, and then left up
the clump of roots carefully. After
shaking to remove soil from the
roots, dry the clumps in a shady
location in order to bring about
gradual drying. When the roots
are dr >- store them in a cfcol cel
lar. garage or shed where they will
n °t freeze. Burying the roots in
boxes of dry sand, sawdust, peat
moss, or Vermiculite will protect
the roots and make them much
easier to handle, suggests the
County Agent.
Dig gladiolus corms anytime af
te r the leaves turn brown. Do not
remove leaves until after digging.
Discard plants showing any signs
of disease on leaves or corms. The
healthy plants should then be dried
as SO on as possible. When the
plants are dry, cut off leaves, re
mbve the thin covering on the
corms and store in shallow boxes,
mesh bags or old nylon stockings.
A light dusting with three per cent
DDT helps control disease
Begonias and cannas should lie
dug and stored with all possible
soil on the roots to prevent drying
out. Store like gladioli in cool
cellar or garage.

FITS ALMOST ANY CHAIR OR SOFA
T HIS is the best and most exciting news you've ever
read about slip covers. For now with Customàeic.*
there are no more "hard-to-fit" furniture styles. There Is
no difficulty in obtaining perfectly tailored fit. And the
top quality fabrics, the smart and distinctive patterns, are
no longer limited to custom-mades.
These Customagic covers are able to brçak all prece
dents, set wholly new standards, because they're both
made and put on in revolutionary new ways. Constructed
in separate, precisely contoured parts, they are applied by
a highly ingenious custom-adjustable method. And be
cause they are applied, rather than forced over or
stretched on the furniture, the fit is perfect. '
Why the material alone would cost almost as much as
these beauties. Choose tones of brown, gold, wine, green
in both plain and floral designs ... be proud of your
home during the holidays.!
