All of our bulbs are thoroughly cleaned, fumigated, and dipped to destroy Thrip and other insects 



When planting in sections where Thrip is prevalent we recommend 

 solution of Lysol disinfectant, mixing four teaspoonfuls to one gallon 

 This treatment stimulates root growth in dormant bulbs. 

 Bulbs may be dipped and left for as long as three weeks before planting 



as an extra precaution, soaking the bulbs for six hours in a 

 of water. 



Methods for Controlling Thrip on Growing Plants 



Make careful examinations of plants when 5 to 6 inches high. If silvery spots are noticed on the foliage spray or dust plants with 

 D.D.T. 5% (see page 137) every 12 days until the lower bud on each plant shows the first sign of color. Directions on each container.
