Generally speaking a large, new, "peppy" bulb gives the 
largest flower, but in a few varieties, a medium bulb makes the 
best flower. Jumbo bulbs, with all but one eye removed, force 
weli for exhibition bloom, but are seldom of much value afterwards. 
You get more for your monsy in medium-size bulbs, but for first 
year results, buy large bulbs. Bulblets of many varieties are 
hard to germinate and their growth 1s uncertain. We can supply 
them, but do not guarantse results. 
If you or your neighbors have had trouble with "thrips", 
try dipping your bulbs in 9 Corrosive Sublimate solution of the 
strength of 1-1000. Leaving them in the "soak" over night is 
none too long. I nave also tried Lysol, and 1t apparently gives 
good results when usec according to directions on the bottle. It 
is much easier to use than the Sublimste. If it becomes necessary 
tO spray, Tartar Emetic is recommended. The formula recommended 
by the United States Department of Agriculture is; Tartar Emetic- 
1 0oz., brown sugar-2 oz8., water- 5 gallons. 
The Ohio State Gladiolus Society will hold its annual 
exhibition at Cedar Point, August 25-ec4, 1941. For a display of 
the newer varieties, and the better things in the "Glad world", 
Ohio cannot be outdone. Plan to be there. You will be welcome.
