THRIPS TREATMENT 



Steckler's bulbs are free from thrips. This 

 insect pest is prevalent in many sections, how- 

 ever, and your planting may become infested 

 from some neighboring focus. If thrips are 

 known to be near you, prevention is advisable. 

 Rotenone sprays and dusts are effective. 



The U. S. department of agriculture recom- 

 mends, after plants have reached six inches in 

 height, weekly spraying with the following 

 formula: 1/4 lb. tartar emetic, 1 lb. brown sugar, 

 6 gallons of water. 



We will ship Tartar Emetic postpaid for 

 J/4 lb., 40c; 1/2 lb., 65c; lb., Sl.OO.
