Botrytis blight is extensive with tulips. In
a wet spring, leaves are blasted, buds blighted,
and open flowers covered with spots, followed
by the familiar gray mold. Sanitary measures
are all-important, for the sclerotia survive in
the soil, ready to blight new, healthy bulbs.
Cut off fading flowers into a paper bag. Gradual
running out of tulips may be due to virus dis-
ease. Breaking of flowers, once considered
a desirable ornamental character, is now recog-
nized as a disease that may be harmful in the
Tuberose (Polianthes)
