GROWING—THRIP CONTROL. SUGESTIONS FOR USE OF GLADS 
This year we are not using- valuable 
space in the catalogue for telling you 
how to use glads, how to grow them, 
etc. Instead we are offering with ev¬ 
ery order a mimeographed bulletin on 
the following articles, free of charge. 
GROWING BULBS AND BULB- 
SLETS, THRIP PREVENTION AND 
CONTROL, HARVESTING THE 
BULBS, and DECORATIVE USES 
OF GLADIOLUS. We are also of¬ 
fering this year a bulletin on STAG¬ 
ING THE EXHIBIT which refers of 
course to showing your flowers at the 
shows. 
You will find all these bulletins very 
interesting and instructive. Many con¬ 
tain hints known only to the commer¬ 
cial growers and are valuable far be¬ 
yond their cost. The only way you 
can obtain these is with an order for 
a dollar or more worth of bulbs or 
bulblets. 
The articles are short and concise in 
every day language so that even the 
new beginner can understand them. 
Comments are made in them on differ¬ 
ent varieties also and all in all we be¬ 
lieve you will enjoy them.
