the very top of the stack of bulbs, never 
on the bottom. The only disadvantage 
in using this has been, the inability of 
the average small user, in securing it, but 
we have listed this material this season, 
for the convenience of all who wish to 
use it. As statements have been pub' 
lished from time to time that thrips, do 
over winter outside, we wish to deny 
that statement, as the latest information 
from the men who study thrips under 
the Department of Agriculture’s super' 
vision, state that thrips can not over 
winter outside where the soil freezes. 
The Bureau of Entomology has not been 
able to overwinter thrips outside at 
Washington, D. C.
