DOES THRIP HURT THE BULBS? No. Do not throw away your bulbs if you have 
thrip. It is the easiest thing in the world to clean your bulbs of thrip. In fact I think bulbs are 
sometimes better when the plants are infested with thrip as they act the same as if the spikes 
were cut off and the strength of the plant allowed to go into the bulbs. 
LABELS. I n soaking bulbs one of my customers recently put me wise to a label to use on 
the bags. Take pieces of cardboard cut the proper size, write the names on them, then dip in hot 
paraffine. He said Bichloride or other disinfectants do not affect the paraffine at all. This makes 
cheap labels. 
BAGS FOR DISINFECTING. For your convenience I am offering bags to disinfect 
your bulbs in. These will last for several soakings and can be kept two years or more.

Euphorbia 
Corolata 
(FLOWERING 
SPURGE) 
This is a hardy perennial somewhat similar to double Baby’s Breath but blossoms later. 
Blooms through August and September. Just the thing to go with glads or any other kind of 
flower. Will grow on most any kind of soil, even on dry sand, but good garden soil will make it 
very much better. 
This is a plant that should be grown in every garden and commercial growers should plant 
it by the hundred. Absolutely hardy and I am sure you will like it. 
Order early as the roots should be planted as soon as frost is out of the ground. I have 
some in storage now for southern growers. Can ship any time before April 15th, but not much 
later. 
Prices are 4 roots for 60 cents or one dozen for $1.25 prepaid. We do not sell less than 
four as they cannot be shipped with the gladiolus bulbs. We have to make a separate 
shipment. 
100 roots $6.00 f.o.b. with 50 at the 100 rate.
