KAYLOR NURSERIES, BLAINE, WASHINGTON 
We Change Name. 
With the object of removing one 
cause of confusion, it has been decided 
to drop the “Peace Arch” part of the 
name of this nursery. Here at Blaine 
we have a large and imposing concrete 
arch errected to commemorate one hun¬ 
dred years of peace between English 
speaking people. It is the only such arch 
in the world; but, we regret to state, this 
fact is not generally known. As a result 
many folks make mistakes in addressing 
letters to us, and in an effort to eliminate 
these mistakes, this business will hereaf¬ 
ter be conducted under the name “Kay- 
lor Nurseries.” 
Here is a good place to extend an 
invitation to all flower fans to vist the 
nursery when passing thru Blaine on 
their way to visit our good friends on 
the British Columbia side of the Peace 
Arch. Turn east on either H or D streets 
in Blaine and you will find the nursery 
on the top of the hill. There are no 
gates to open—just drive in from either 
side. 
While this is the largest catalog we 
have ever issued, still there are many 
things growing at the nursery that are 
not listed herein. There are items of 
which we do not have sufficient stock, or 
items under test. Another thing: Many 
times we have oversized plants and trees, 
odds and ends of stocks on which we can 
quote prices on the “cash and carry” 
plan that will result in worth while sav¬ 
ings. 
Thrips. 
To go Will Rogers one better—all we 
know is our own experience, and since 
we have never had a thrips on the place, 
we do not know much about this pest. 
Never saw but one sample of him, and 
that was a long way from Blaine, and 
hope we may never have to look at 
another; for falks, this rascal can sure 
make a Glad look sick. 
Our escape so far we lay to the 
careful handling of new stocks received 
from other growers and to the fact that 
everything we plant is treated. Whether 
you suspect thrips or not, you should 
make sure that every bulb has been 
treated before it goes in the ground. 
Practically all of our stock was treated 
at digging time in a bath of lime-sul¬ 
phur solution. This solution is some¬ 
what hard to hold at a uniform strength, 
somewhat mussy and smells badly. We 
use it about half winter strength and 
soak the bulbs for a couple of hours. 
If you cannot be sure as to control 
of lime-sulphur, better give your bulbs 
the lye treatment. This is done by dis¬ 
solving one ounce of ordinary concen- 
Sunshine Susie 
trated lye in one and one-half gallons 
of water and soaking the bulbs for sev¬ 
eral hours. This should be done just be¬ 
fore planting. Another treatment is dis¬ 
solve one ounce of Bichloride of Mercury 
in seven gallons of water and soak for 
four hours. Both these are good, but we 
have found that no bug on earth can 
swallow a big swig of lime-sulphur, or 
take a good long bath in it, and survive. 
We believe it gets thrips as well as other 
pests. 
Laughing Lassie a Beauty 
“The bulb of Laughing Lassie you 
sent me two years ago produced a flower 
the first year that did not look so hot, 
but it came through last summer with 
one of the most beautiful spikes I have 
ever seen. Guess it took a year to be¬ 
come aclimated and at home here—but 
it surely paid” A customer at Spokane.
