This year, I have a number of extra large jumbo bulbs. If you wish these bulbs, specify, and send your 
order in early. The bulbs I prefer to grow myself and will use in filling orders are plump, high crowned 
stock grown 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, $2.00; No. 4, $1.50; 
No. 5, $1.00; No. 6, 60c; prepaid delivery. 
Gladioli are very easy to grow. Following are a f ew of the principal rules to follow: 
Select a place in the open garden where other tall growing plants will not shade them. Glads like and 
need full sunshine. Mix with the soil, any good grade of commercial fertilizer or well rotted compost or 
manure. Select good healthy bulbs. Place them in a trench at least five inches deep and about three inches 
apart in a straight or staggered row. Cover at once. It is better to plant deeper than too shallow. One or 
two light applications of fertilizer during the growing season, before buds appear, will help insure good 
spikes. 
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. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
Successful control measures include the following: 
(1) Treat the bulbs with Cyanogas-G or other fumigant upon cleaning 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. 
Tartar Emetic, used as follows, has proven very satisfactory in controlling thrips. Tartar Emetic 4i/2 
teaspoonsful, sugar 1 2/3 cups, water 3 gals. Apply late in the afternoon or early evening. 
The first dozen to bloom last season appeared as follows: Mibloom, Max Reger, Dr. Durr, Gold Eagle, 
J. S. Bach, Aida, Token, Lady Marie, Cara Mia, Miss Bloomington, Early Dawn and Mary Frey. 
Among the newer varieties: Margaret Beaton and Zuni were outstanding. 
Beacon attracted much attention, Jasmine is a dainty one, nicely ruffled, Lord Selkirk opens the most 
flowers. Purple Beauty is a welcome addition to that color. Uniac was much admired. American Com¬ 
mander to near Commander Koehl. Colossus and Aladdin were too short. Crystal is large and white. Flora 
Farmer was a disappointment. Josef Hayden was extra tall and nice. Myrna was tall and straight . New 
Era discouraging. Hildred had the longest flower head.
