COMMERCIAL GLAD, RATINGS 
SYMBOLS USED. (***) (**) (*) 
Most varieties listed may be used for some cut flower or other decorative pur¬ 
pose, however there are a number of varieties, due' to their colors or other qualities, 
make them more desirable for specialized cut flower purposes, so we have graded all 
these varieties into the classification to which we think they belong, when grown for 
cut flower purposes of a commercial nature. For roadside stands, some that graded 
lowest as commercials may sell better than those that grade highest, all depending on 
what your retail customer wants. However, if you sell directly to florists, it is well 
to use the varieties marked as most desirable for this purpose, following each variety 
name or directly under the variety. We will use asterisks as follows: Three asterisks 
after a variety name will indicate the most outstanding Commercial as PICARDY.*** 
Two asterisks,—example, AFLAME.** Good for commercial use but not so desirable 
as the first selection, and one asterisk,—example, MOROCCO.* Varieties so marked, 
may produce as fine spikes as any others, and due to color or other qualities, are not 
so desirable for commercial cut flower growing, but among these will be found some 
real exhibition quality when well grown. For example OUR SELECTION.*—It often 
opens 8-10 or more, but its color is not so desirable for regular cut flower produc¬ 
tion, however with roadside stands and direct to consumer trade, perhaps many of 
these will sell as well if not better than the higher rated glads.

Tartar Emetic—A New Spray For Gladiolus Thrip 
From Florists Review, November 24, 1938, we quote the formula given by 
(Watson) University of Florida. His formula was 4 pounds of Tartar Emetic, 16 
pounds of brown sugar to 100 gallons of water. 
For small quantity this will require approximately 2 ounces of Tartar Emetic, 
one-half pound sugar and 3 gallons of water, mixed and dissolved together. Apply 
when foliage is dry, with any sprayer that will produce a mist like spray, with 
some pressure. This as I understand it, is considered far superior to many former 
sprays used for glads.

ful keeper as home cut flower, considered one of the best of the Japs. Each 75c.
