As in previous 
years, I have a limited number of 
extra large jumbo bulbs. 
If you 
wish 
these 
bulbs. 
specify, and send in your order 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, |2.40; No. 3, 82.00: 
No. 4, 81.50; No. 5, $1.00; No. 6, 60c; prepaid delivery. 
Join the Connecticut Gladiolus Society if you live nearby. You will be warmly welcomed by its mem¬ 
bers. Send the dues of $2.00 to me and I will be glad to forward them to the Secretary. 
Perhaps the past season was very disheartening for many of you flower lovers. Some of you probably 
saw your dreams fulfilled, others of you were disappointed. Personally, I do not think we should judge too 
much by the past season. Seven days of steady rain, then five weeks of drouth, ending with five days of 
rain and a hurricane is enough to spoil any plant. However, with a little care to your bulbs this winter they 
should be in good condition for next season. Be sure you have no thrips on your bulbs while they are in 
storage. 
If you were bothered with thrips last season and can move to a new patch of ground, do so, even though 
it may be but a short distance from the old patch. Gladioli like to be planted in a different place whenever 
possible. 
Clean, healthy, bulbs, planted in good, healthy soil should give very fine results! 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
Successful control measures include the following: 
(1) Treat the bulbs with Cyanogas-G or other fumigant upon cleaninig 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 husking. 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.
