Gladioli, which are increasing in popularity each year, 
are susceptible to several diseases which 
retard their 
growth, handicap their flowering and destroy their corms. 
Semesan has proved effective for controlling certain of these 
surface-borne diseases, thereby enabling the plants to pro- 
duce a crop of disease-free corms. 
“Tt is a better and surer practice to disinfect all lots of 
diseased bulbs. 
For this purpose ...one of the new 
organic mercury compounds, such as ... Semesan... is 
to be recommended.”
