Several methods of digging and storing have been tested at the Plant Research Institute over the past decade; the following ones have given the greatest satisfaction. Tuherous begonias: At the first sign of frost dig tuberous begonias, leaving as much soil on the tubers as possible and the tops intact. Store them for about three weeks until the tops can easily be broken off. Then clean the tubers and pack them in vermiculite or dry peat moss. Store them dry in a tempera- late March or April, when it) growth again, treated in the same way. store them in a single layer in a box of sand or peat moss at a temperature of 40 to 50 de- grees. Dahlias: Since these tubers should be stored for the shortest time possible, it is better to wait until the beginning of Novem- ber before digging them. Of course, this depends upon the weather. If a freeze-up appears} probable then you should dig them right away or else you will have difficulty in getting the| tubers out of the ground. Re- |moving the tubers from the soil) \should be done with great care since it is very easy to break) ithe brittle roots, Cut the stems to within six inches of the! jground and dig carefully around jthe plant with a digging fork; jthen lift the clumps from the |soil by prying with the fork. For) jthis operation two people are jmuch better than one, so_ if possible, enlist the aid of some-| jone and use two forks, one on| jeach side of the clump. | If the dahlias have been growing on heavy land, the soil jmay be left on the roots and the roots stored on a cool base- jment floor, either as they are or in boxes, but without remoy- ing the soil. In this way they will certainly keep until spring. If the soil is light and sandy it will fall-away from the tubers as jsoon as they are lifted and jsome other means must be adopted for storage. Take the jclumps down. to the basement, j\leave them to dry for at least a couple of weeks, then place them in a carton and cover them with vermiculite.

About the middle of January it is a good idea to inspect one or two of the tubers to see how they are | PLEADS GUILTY TORONTO (CP) -- George) Miller, 27-year-old city hall} \clerk who admitted fixing traf-| fic tickets, told a court Friday| he took over the racket from a man who quit before him. |Miller, a clerk in the magis- jtrate's court office, pleaded | guilty to obstructing justice and was remanded to Oct. 19 for jSentencing.

Gladioluses: Gladiolus corms may be dug either after a severe frost or before frosts have oc- curred. The main thing is to give them as long a_ growing season as possible and yet dig them before the ground freezes. If you have only a few bulbs, mid-October is usually a good time, but if the planting is large, an earlier start is ad- visable. Because of an insect known as thrips, which causes consid- erable damage to bloom, it is necessary to take special pre- cautions when digging and stor- ing gladiolus corms. ture of 50 to 55 degrees until|/BEFORE DIGGING Before digging, have boxes will be time to start them into|and labels ready in the garden, Caladiums arelalso some 5 per cent D.D.T. idust, Cannas: After the first frost, | with a fork on each side of the cut the stems back to six inches.'row and then lift them with one Dig the roots, let them dry, and hand while cutting the tops off Loosen the bulbs first close to the corm with the other; place each variety in a flat and} label it.
