BULB AND PLANT TREATMENT 
The best general treatment of gladiolus bulbs for disease cure and prevention is the 
treatment with Murcuric Chloride (Corrosive Sublimate) solution. This treatment 
will kill thrips and thrip eggs, as well as the spores of fungous diseases. Soak the bulbs 
at least 7 hours (or over night) in the solution, 1 oz. to 7/z gallons water, preferably 
not under 60 degrees. Wet treatment should not be done till just before planting. The 
bulbs may be planted wet. 
For spraying the growing stock for thrips or other insects, we recommend ROTO- 
TOX. This is both a stomach and contact poison—non-poisonous to people or animals— 
a complete spray requiring only dilution with water. The various dilutions range from 
1 to 200 parts of water to 1 to 800 parts water. You can get ROTOTOX promptly 
by parcel post, at following prices (subject to change); 1 oz. 35c; 1 pt. $1.75; 1 qt. 
$3.00; 1 gal. $10.00; from The East Williston Distributing Co., 81-L Yale St., East 
Williston, Long Island, N. Y.
