GLADIOLUS 
HENDERSON'S “UP-TO-DATE” NAMED VARIETIES 
This list of named Gladiolus comprises our choice im the fields after studying and comparing the merits of hundreds of varieties, 
consideration being given to healthy growth, size, form, coloring and substance of flowers, properly spaced and faced on strong, straight, 
upright spikes, ete. We therefore believe thet this selection is unsurpassable. First size number one bulbs. 
Every precaution is taken to supply clean stock; 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 teaspoonsful te one gallon of water, 
AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THRIP ON GROWING PLANTS 
Make careful examinations of plents when 5 to 6 inches high. If silvery spots are noticed on the foliage spray with the following 
solution: two ounces of Tartar Emetic, eight ounces brown sugar, honey or syrup in three gallons of water, apply every ten days if necessary. 
Another effective remedy is to spray the plants with D.D.T. (5%) when the foliage is 5 to 6 inches high and continue every 12 days until 
the lower bud on each plant shows the first sign of color. Directions on each container.
