“There are many advantages in using Lysol 
solution for the elimination of thrips instead 
of the bichloride of mercury commonly rec- 
ommended: 
“Lysol solution may be used 
ADVANTAGES OF for several dips without add- 
LYSOL OVER tf: 
BICHLORIDE OF ing additional amounts of 
MERCURY Lysol. This is not true of bi- 
chloride of mercury. 
“Lysol solution may be placed in any type of 
container. Bichloride of mercury cannot be 
placed in a metal container. 
“Lysol solution does not retard blooming. Bi- 
chloride of mercury may delay blooming for 
as much as two weeks. 
“Lysol is not damaging to bulbs. Bichloride of 
mercury is damaging to split jumbo bulbs, etc. 
‘Furthermore Lysol solution is extremely easy 
to prepare and also will not remove pencil 
marks on labels of soaking bulbs. 
“J am sure that Lysol will definitely solve 
gladiolus growers’ problems and will have the 
added effect of encouraging many to again 
enter this field of endeavor. 
“As Secretary of the National Gladiolus So- 
ciety, I feel duty bound to strongly urge all 
growers, both professional and amateur, to 
use Lysol. My opinions are the result of my 
own personal experiments and are recom- 
mended in the hope that growers will cooper- 
ate by using this successful method of thrip 
elimination. 
Signed: C.G. YOUNG, Secretary 
National Gladiolus Society.”
