The Th rip Question 
As my friend J. D. would say “in a coupla nutshells.” 
WHAT IS THRIP? A thrip is a small black insect about the size of a fine pencil mark and 
1 /16 inch long. Young ones are smaller and yellowish. 
WHAT DOES THRIP DO? He scarifies the surface of the leaves but the chief damage he 
does is to suck the juices from the buds and so cause them to dry up and not open into a flower. 
It has ruined millions of blooms. 
WHERE DO YOU FIND THRIP? Down in the axils of the leaves and under the 
sheaths of the buds. 
IS THRIP WIDELY DISTRIBUTED? Yes, over nearly the whole country. Some 
sections claim they haven’t got it and possibly it has not reached there but it will in time. And 
it may be present in a locality and not have become prevalent enough to cause noticeable damage. 
WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT? Have bulbs clean before storing away for the 
winter. To be sure of this you can use napthalene flakes. After bulbs are cleaned up keep them 
warm, 60 to 70 for about three weeks and scatter napthalene flakes over them using about one 
ounce to 100 bulbs. Cover with paper or cloth to confine the fumes. After three weeks shake 
off the napthalene and store bulbs away in a cool place. 
If bulbs can be stored in a temperature of 40° or less they will have no thrip on them at 
planting time as thrip or thrip eggs cannot survive a 40° temperature for several weeks. Hence 
they do not live over outdoors where the temperature is down to 40° or thereabouts most 
of the winter. 
Disinfect ALL bulbs planted. Soak them in Bichloride of Mercury in a 1-1,000 solution for 
seven to eight hours. I use powdered Bichloride one ounce to seven gallons of water. Dissolve
