MINNESOTA GROWN 
Minnesota grown bulbs arc conceded to be the best produced anywhere, 
because of the climatic conditions which tend to develop a much firmer, healthier 
bulb than those grown under warmer and more humid climatic conditions. 
GLADIOLUS THRIPS 
While our Gladiolus bulbs are entirely free from this pest it would be 
worth while to disinfect all bulbs just prior to planting. We use a solution 
of seven gallons of water to one-half pint of Formaldehyde and soak the bulbs 
for seven to ten hours.
