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 to one gallon of water. 



AN EFFECTIVE METHOD 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, eight ounces brown sugar, honey or syrup in three gallons of water, apply every ten days if necessary.
