THRIP CONTROL 
Control of Thrips is now very definitely a matter of record. 
It involves treatment of the bulbs and regular spraying. 
To protect the bulbs, cure bulbs thoroughly, then sprinkle 
1 pound of Napthalene Flakes among each thousand bulbs. 
Not more than 24 hours before planting, peel the bulbs and 
dip them in hot water for about two minutes. (About as hot 
as the average person can stand with his hand fully im¬ 
mersed.) The bulbs we sell have already been fumigated so 
that no further treatment is necessary. When the plants ai-e 
about 3 inches high start spraying them with a solution, 
using one teaspoonful Barfoot Rotenone Spray to one gallon 
of water. Whenever possible, spray in late afternoon on a 
warm day, as that is the time when the greatest thrip popu¬ 
lation is in evidence. Continue to spray the plants with 
Barfoot Rotenone Spray every week until after blooming. 
When spraying be certain that each plant is thoroughly 
wetted. If during the blooming season you should see a 
diseased-looking flower spike, cut off the spike, wrap in 
paper and burn, leaving the leaves to mature the bulb. Total 
destruction of the plant is not necessary. If you do not have 
high pressure spraying equipment, mix three teaspoons kero¬ 
sene with one teaspoon Barfoot Rotenone Spray. After stir¬ 
ring together, add one gallon of water. The kerosene acts 
as a spreader, aiding the Rotenone to penetrate the leaf 
sheaves. 
Barfoot Rotenone Spray, 1 oz. bottle, 35c; 4 oz. $1.00; 
1 pint, $2.50; 1 quart, $4.25; 1 gallon, $15.00; 5 gallons, $60.00.
