PLEASE NOTE: 
While we buy our Gladiolus bulbs from only the most reliable 
sources, we cannot give any guarantee as to their being free 
from Thrip or any other insects. 
Whether they are free when planted or not, they may become 
infected very easily when growing. Most growers agree that for 
best results the bulbs should be soaked in Corrosive Sublimate 
before planting and sprayed while growing with Tartar Emetic. 
We do not claim this is a "cure-all" but many growers tell us 
it has been the difference between a failure and a good crop. 
Complete directions are furnished with both the Corrosive Sub¬ 
limate and the Tartar Emetic. Prices are as follows: 
Corrosive Sublimate.$0.35 an ounce; $1.00 for 3 ounces 
One ounce is sufficient for two to three thousand bulbs. 
Tartar Emetic.1 lb. for $0.60; 5 lbs or over $0.50 a lb. 
One pound mixed with four pounds of brown sugar makes 25 
gallons solution.
