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 recom- 

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

 solution of Lysol disinfectant, mixing four teaspoonfuls to one 

 gallon of water. 



This treatment stimulates root growth in dormant bulbs. 



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

 planting.
