3 Exhibition Gladioli Gladioli Culture Choose a sunny location (a different spot each year) with well-drained, rich soil. Plant about 15 cm (6 ) deep, 10 cm (4 ) apart in rows 30 cm (12 ) apart. Dusting the corms with Bulb Dust prevents insect and disease damage. Mound up the rows and water well, occasionally but thoroughly. Frequent but light watering will cause the roots to come to the surface where they can be scorched by the sun. Fertilize with Bonemeal or a balanced-formula, general purpose brand. When cutting the flowers, allow some leaves to remain on the plant to mature the corms. When the leaves turn brown in the fall, dig up the plants, cut off the stalks, and store the corms inside in a warm spot for 10 to 14 days to dry them quickly. When the old bulb can be broken off with a snap, it is time to store the new ones in a cool spot (5 C is best) for the winter. Dusting with Bulb Dust is recommended.

4 Roses rose Culture Choose a sunny location with free air circulation and rich well-drained soil. Soak the bushes in water 24 to 72 hours before planting. Dig a wide hole with a centre mound to fan out the roots. The graft (on tea roses) should be about 5 cm (2 ) below the soil surface. Fill the hole with water and add a soil and peat moss mixture gradually. A transplant fertilizer is recommended at this time. Water very well. Our Tea Roses can be wintered on the Prairies with a little protection (northern climates will require special attention). Cut your bushes down to about 30 cm (12 ), then mound them up with soil or mulch and cover with vented plastic, jute, or a cardboard box. Snow cover is also an excellent insulator. Do not uncover too early in the spring, and water very well. Shrub roses usually need no covering or protection unless they are in an area that does not get much snow cover. Plant in an area getting adequate winter snow cover. In the fall, cut down to 30 cm (12 ) and cover with soil, straw, peat, etc. Do not uncover too soon in the spring. Hardy shrub roses Very hardy Canadian-grown shrubs, taller than Tea types, and with abundant but smaller blooms. Usually no extra winter protection is needed beyond snow cover.

Does well in partially shaded flower beds Pkg. of 10 roots $6.99 perishable stock Our perennial roots, bulbs, shrubs and fruits are kept cool and dormant until time of shipment. Once the stock has started to grow, climatic and soil conditions, which are of course beyond our control, become the most important variables in the success of the plant. Therefore, if you have a problem with our perennial roots, bulbs, shrubs, or fruits, or if your parcel is received in damaged condition, you must let us know right away. We will replace with the same or similar stock, or issue a credit note for the amount paid, at our option. The deadline to report any perishable stock that fails to grow is 40 days from the date of shipment. We regret that we cannot accept any claims after 40 days. We do our best to buy a sufficient stock of roots and bulbs to cover our orders. However with perishable items like these, crop shortages sometimes develop after our catalogue goes to press. Therefore, unless otherwise instructed, we will substitute where necessary to an equal or higher value with a color or variety as close as we can to the one you ordered. Lilies We buy large top quality lily bulbs as we feel they are your best investment towards years of reliable service. Not all lilies are perfectly winter hardy in our climate.

Lilies may also be lifted in the fall and stored indoors like Dahlia tubers. Set the bulbs 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 ) deep, in welldrained soil. Use peat moss when planting.

87 Premier Lawn Grass We feature lawn seed specially suited to Prairie weather and soil. Only top quality grass seed is used in Lindenberg s Premier brand lawn grass. You can buy cheaper seed, but it could take longer to fill in, or winter kill more easily. NEW LAWNS: The soil should be well cultivated, finely pulverized and levelled. Rolling it will show up those hollows that need to be filled. Plant a small area at a time and divide your seed so that the recommended quantity is applied to that area. Lightly rake or reroll. Keep the surface moist but not soaked, with several light, fine-spray waterings, rather than a few heavy applications, until the seed has germinated and taken root (usually days depending on the weather). Then, watering should become heavier but at longer intervals. It is best to sow grass when weather conditions are moist and moderately cool (i.e. early spring, or very early fall). However, grass can be sown anytime if it has the moisture it needs. Lawns are heavy feeders and should therefore be fertilized regularly after the first year. TO RENEW OLD LAWNS: Loosen up the bald spots with a rake, apply a top dressing of soil, and sow the seed at 500 g to 45 square meters (450 square feet). Then follow the same procedure as new lawns. Note: Rates quoted are approximate only. They can be varied considerably according to personal preference. H Premier 909 Fine Turf Canada No. 1 Lawn Grass Mixture Approximate Blend: Kentucky Blue Grass... 40% Creeping Red Fescue... 45% Annual Rye... 15% This is our most popular mixture. It has been a proven performer on the Prairies for many years. Premier 909 stands up to traffic and winter conditions better than many other mixtures, yet with a little moisture and care it looks great! The Kentucky Blue grass provides the fine-bladed grass whereas the Creeping Red Fescue is a hardier strain that blends well with the Kentucky Blue. Because the Kentucky Blue Grass accounts for relatively less than the other varieties in the mixture, 909 makes a hardier lawn requiring a minimum of care. The Annual Rye provides a cover crop for the first year to allow the other 2 varieties to become well established. Sow 500 g to 30 square meters (275 square feet).
