Getting Canaliculatus To Bloom By Kathy Welsh

Are you of the opinion that the only way to have a blooming Canaliculatus is to buy new bulbs from your favorite Dutch source each year? Until last year, I would have sworn by this theory. I first purchased Canaliculatus a number of years ago. The bulbs had split and multiplied regularly, but produced nothing but foliage in the spring. It was not until I mentioned my frustration to Ann Corson that I learned a new trick.

Ann's advice, "Dig the bulbs and leave the mesh bag on top of the dirt for weeks. Let the bulbs really bake. Pretend like you're trying to kill them." Following this advice was easy because I had decided that if I didn't get flowers I was disposing of the bulbs anyway. Who needs bulbs that produce nothing but foliage? My efforts paid off greatly. In the summer of 2007 I followed Ann's directions and this past spring I was rewarded with an entire row of flowering bulbs. Most had 5 or 6 blooms per stem.

For those in the deep south where temperatures are much hotter than the mid to upper 90 degree days in Northern Virginia, you may want to modify these directions slightly. Good luck!

Color Code Change Note that the color code of Bill Pannill's 'Ashland' has been changed to 2W-W from 2W-Y. Since this cultivar is so widely grown, I thought this should be publicized.

Important Message About Your Ads Dues

Jaydee, Ager, Executive Director Effective July 1, 2009, we will convert to an

annual dues renewal date of JULY 1. We trust this will simplify dues payments. With ever increasing costs, it was incumbent upon us to find a better solution than our current quarterly dues renewal system. So what will you do as you pay dues for this year, or in 2009? To align with the JUL 1 09 start date, you may need to pay a pro-rated amount. Look at the back cover of your JUNE Journal or this newsletter if it has been sent via USPS to ascertain your dues renewal date. Each calendar quarter of MAR, JUN, SEP, DEC, has a value of $5 attributed to your annual dues payment of $20. If your one year dues are paid through SEP 08, you would pay $15, DEC 08, pay $10, MARCH 09, pay

$5 or $25 to renew for another year. These payments will get you aligned with the JUL 1 date. If your dues are paid thru JUN 09; lucky you, you are good to go, with no pro-rated payments! Please renew by sending your check, made payable to ADS, to the Executive Director. The mailing address is: PO BX 522, Hawkinsville, GA 31036-0522. You can also renew at our ADS web store: v,r‘vv,.daffodilusastore.org. I welcome your inquiries about this change. I prefer e-mail communication, but a phone call or a snail mailed note will work, too. Our ADS web store will be problematic for dues renewal pro-rated payments, because it only

offers an annual or three year dues renewal option. But if you prefer utilizing the web store, rather than sending a personal check, it can be worked out. Please contact me first, so we can make the necessary arrangements. I aim to please. Jaydee Atkins Ager, ADS Executive Director, [email protected]; (478) 783-2153.
