THRIPS TREATMENT 



Steckler's bulbs are free from thrips. 

 This insect pest is prevalent in many 

 sections, however, and your planting 

 may become infested from some neigh- 

 boring focus. If thrips are known to be 

 near you, prevention is advisable. 

 Rotenone sprays and dusts are effec- 

 tive. 



The U. S. department of agriculture 

 recommends, after plants have reached 

 six inches in height, weekly spraying 

 with the following formula: Vi lb. tartar 

 emetic, 1 lb. brown sugar, 6 gallons of 

 water. 



We will ship Tartar Emetic postpaid 

 for 1/4 lb., 50c; 1/2 lb., 90c; lb., $1.50.
