“Supreme Quality vgc Bulbs-Plants 
IMPORTANT NOTE 
“The Control ol Glatliolus Tlirips 
Notwithstanding that a grower may start his cul¬ 
tures with perfectly healthy bulbs (corms) thrips 
may develop in his plantings by invasion of the 
pest introduced from untreated corms planted in 
the vicinity, and consequently spraying with 
"Tartar Emetic" becomes necessary. In this con¬ 
nection we supply, free of charge, copy of circular 
containing information suggested by the Bureau 
of Entomology, Washington, D. C., which fully 
covers the application of above. 
A. B. C. “SUPREME” QUALITY 
GLADIOLUS BULBS 
With a total output of some twenty million gladiolus produced 
exclusively for bulb harvest and only from young corms, not as a 
by-product ’ of cut flowers, we are in a position second to none to 
furnish stock that obtains the required vitality to produce 100% results 
for the grower. 
A. B. C. “SUPREME” QUALITY GLADIOLUS BULBS are pro¬ 
duced primarily in northern Indiana in sandy loam and are thoroughly 
cured. Our Indiana grower, likewise other reliable sources from whom 
we contract, hold Agricultural Inspection Certificates, certifying all 
bulbs free from thrips and other diseases.
