Control of basal rot of narcissus following hot‐water treatment against eelworm was equally good when 0.5% formalin was included in the bath or was used as a cold or warm steep immediately afterwards. When the formalin steep was delayed control was less good. All methods of applying formalin in connexion with hot‐water treatments used in these experiments were equally harmless to growth and flowering of the bulbs.
