FOR THE CONTROL OF 
THRIPS 
Before planting we suggest mixing 2% oz. 
of Semesan in 1 gal. of water and allow the 
bulbs to soak in this solution for 7 hours. 
When the plants have attained a height of 
6 in. the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture recom- 
mends weekly spraying with the following 
mixture. 14 lb. Tartar Emetic, 1 lb. brown 
sugar, 6 gal. water. 
After the bulbs have been lifted in the fall 
and the tops cut off, put them in boxes and 
dust with Naphthalene Flakes, using 1 oz. to 
100 bulbs. Cover the boxes with paper and 
leave them for 4 weeks. Do not use boxes 
with tight fitting covers as ventilation is 
important. 
At the end of 4 weeks remove the Naphtha- 
lene Flakes and store the bulbs as usual.
