ABOUT 
While much is being said by growers about control of thrips, 
I believe much the same as our Experimental Station, that all 
that has been done is only in the nature of experimentation and 
I am not so positive about it as some of the growers are and what 
ever you do will be an expeiiment. 
However I believe they can be controlled to an extent that 
we can have good flowers. Here we have had good results from 
gassing the bulbs, also from the use of Napthalene. There is a 
difference of opinion about Napthalene; some think it injures 
the bulbs, others do not, but for the small grower it seems to be 
the logical thing to use about one ounce to 100 large bulbs. Place 
a paper over them for a while, then take it off after some 3 weeks 
and if the bulbs have air the flakes should not injure them. 
THRIPS 
Large growers no doubt will gas where possible. Before 
you plant your bulbs by all means disinfect them—use one can of 
commercial lye to twenty or twenty-five gallons of water, soak 
ten or twelve hours. This is cheap and quite effective but there 
are several preparations on the market that may be better but 
more trouble to use perhaps. 
After the glads are up spray with two tablespoons of Paris 
Green and one and one-half pints Molasses in three gallons of 
water or you can use Brown Sugar or Glucose. Spray as often 
as you can but once a week at least. There are other sprays on 
the market that you can use if you like. 
JUST A|FEW CULTURAL NOTES 
The Gladioli are so easy to grow that they may be planted 
anywhere so long as they are in the sun but will not do well in 
the shade. Don’t try it. 
Plant any time after the middle of April to the middle of 
June, in any manner that best suits your plot of ground. Plant 
from two to five inches deep the larger the bulb the deeper it 
should be planted. It stands up better. 
Now start the cultivator. The more the soil is kept stirred 
when not tco wet the tetter it conserves the moisture and your 
plants will do better. 
The Gladioli will take a lot of water at blooming time. If 
you are in a position to water them at this time do so. If not, 
they will do fairly w ell without by keepirg the soil well stirred up. 
When cutting the flowers keep as many leaves as possible 
on the plant to n ature the bulb. Tco lew cutting weakens the 
bulb. 
When digging, cut the stalk close to the bulb and dry well. 
When well dried and cleaned, store in cellar away from the fur¬ 
nace. If near the furnace, keep dish of water near them. 
The flower of the Gladiolus is the finest for vases for the 
sick room, hospitals, churches, cemetery and decorations of all 
kinds. Use them freely. 
While I make no special claim for my bulbs, every year I 
receive many fine letters from customers who were pleased with 
my stock and pleased with the service rendered. We have a 
large stock and ship orders promptly.
