SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
There are a limited number of extra large jumbo b ulbs. If you wish them, so specify and be sure to get 
your order in early. The bulbs I prefer to grow myself and will use in filling orders are plump high crowned 
stock from bulblets or small planting stock. (L) large. (M) medium, and (S) small sizes are those common 
to the trade. Large bulbs can be depended upon for the finest spikes. Medium sized bulbs will prove very 
satisfactory. Small bulbs may do well. Varieties in the 40-25-15 range, such as Aflame, Aida, Yvonne, may 
also be purchased in standard sizes per 100 as follows: No. 2, S2.40; No. 3, S2.00; No. 4, $1.50; No. 5, SI.00; 
No. 6, 60c; prepaid delivery.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
1936 reports on thrips were very favorable. Almost without exception, thrips were less harmful. Many 
growers discontinued spraying after midseason. However, I suggest that preventative and control measures 
be not relaxed. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
Successful control measures include the following: 
(1) Treat the bulbs with Cyanogas-G or other fumigant upon cleaning the bulbs in the fall. Small 
quantities of bulbs may be put in paper bags or shoe boxes and sprinkled with Napthalene flakes—1 ounce 
per 100 lbs. Let the flakes evaporate. (2) Store in a cool, dry place and keep at a temperature of 40 de¬ 
grees. Do not let the bulbs freeze. (3) Treat or soak in a solution of bichloride of mercury (corrosive sub¬ 
limate) before planting. Husk the bulbs previously, if possible. Soak for two hours in a solution of 1.1000, 
one tablet to one pint of water. Use stone crocks, glass jars, or wooden tubs—not a metal container. Large 
numbers of bulbs may be tied in sacks and kneaded on the floor in lieu of huskang. Thorough soaking will 
destroy all thrips and their eggs. (4) Spray every week or ten days after the plants are six inches high. 
Do not wait until the buds appear. It is too late then. Effective spraying will control those thrips that 
have survived or that may appear from nearby infestations. The cheapest and most effective spray now 
seems to be a combination of molasses or white sugar, and paris green or arsenate of lead—one pint of mo¬ 
lasses to two tablespoons of paris green to three gallons of water. Keep the solution well stirred. An over 
dose of paris green will severely burn the foliage or even kill the plants. Arsenate of lead will not burn, 
sticks to foliage better, but shows up plainly on foliage. Black-leaf 40 may be added if desired. Apparently, 
thrips have a “sweet tooth” and thus get the poison. Other and more expensive materials are Cubor, Red Ar¬ 
row, and Lethane. Cubor dust—1% rotenone—proved very effective, when applied before the dew was off, 
and may supplant spraying.
