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 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. 



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 with the following 

 solution: two ounces of Tartar Emetic (see page 140), 8 ounces brown sugar in three gallons of water, apply every ten days if 

 necessary. 



Another effective remedy is to spray or dust plants with D.D.T. 5% (see page -139) when the foliage is 10 inches high and continue 

 every 12 days until the lower bud on each plant shows the first sign of color. Directions on each container.
