NAPHTHALENE FLAKES — 
If there is any possibility of there being thrips on your bulbs, by all means do something to get 
rid of them. Of course you know if you had thrips on your plants this summer but sometimes there are 
thrips in very small quantities that you might not notice so it is always safer to take precautions and 
get rid of the thrips in the fall before they have any chance of doing any damage to the bulbs. If you 
have only small quantities of bulbs, that is up to a thousand, Naphthalene Flakes are the simplest 
thing to use to clean up the thrips. We sell a package of nearly 2 pounds for fifty cents, prepaid. 
This is enough to treat two thousand bulbs. If you want it in larger quantities F.O.B. here can make 
you a special price. 7 
apthalene is not safe to use late in the season. If used it should be before March 1st. 

Euphorbia Coralata 
(FLOWERING SPURGE) | 
This is a hardy perennial somewhat similar to double Baby's Breath but blossoms later. Blooms 
through August and September. Just the thing to go with glads or any other kind of flower. Will grow 
on most any kind of soil, even on dry sand, but good garden soil will make it very much better. 
This is a plant that should be grown in every garden and commercial growers should plant it 
by the hundred. Absolutely hardy and | am sure you will like it. a: 
In the northern states | would suggest Euphorbia be planted early in the spring. In the south or 
where it does not freeze hard, fall planting would be perfectly all right. 
Though Euphorbia is easy to handle, and there should be no reason for it not doing well, | have 
had some complaints about the roots not growing. | don’t know why this is because if they are planted 
at once and given a good watering they should all grow. | have had no trouble with them myself. 
But in as much as | have had some complaints | no longer guarantee the roots. | do give good strong 
healthy roots and if given half a chance they should grow but if they do not grow | shall not be re- 
sponsible. 
Prices are 4 roots for 60 cents or one dozen for $1.25 prepaid. We do not sell less than four as — " 
they cannot be shipped with the gladiolus bulbs. We have to make a separate shipment. Can’t 
usually ship roots after May 15. 
100 roots $6.00 f.0.b. with 50 at the 100 rate.
