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



When planting in sections where Thrips are 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, dried, and left for as long as three weeks before planting. 



Methods for Controlling Thrips 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 129) every 12 days until the lower bud on each plant shows the first sign of color. Directions on each container.
