Gladiolus Thrip 
It is essential that spraying be started as soon 
as the plants are 6 inches high, and continued until 
the buds are ready to show color. If spraying is 
not started until the plants are mature, it will be 
too late to save the bloom. The plants should be 
sprayed at least every 10 days, and more frequently 
when the spray is washed off the plants by rain 
soon after having been applied. It is best to spray 
immediately after a rain, when the indications are 
for fair weather. A fine mist must be used to be 
most effective. 
New Thrip Spray 
In 3-gallon mixtures, suitable for the home gar- 
den, use two ounces or four and one-half table- 
spoonfuls of tartar emetic, and eight ounces or 
one and two-thirds cups of brown sugar.

Winter Control of Thrip 
Naphthalene flakes afford a very simple and 
inexpensive method of control. After the bulbs 
are thoroughly cured, usually a month or six weeks 
after digging, sprinkle the flakes over and through 
them at the rate of one ounce per one hundred 
bulbs. If paper bags or boxes are used be sure 
that they are closed tightly. If screen bottom 
trays are used, place them one upon another and 
cover over the whole stack with a canvas. The 
reason for this is that the flakes evaporate and 
form a gas which should be kept around the 
bulbs. The gas penetrates under the husk and 
destroys the living thrip as well as the eggs. For 
best results the temperature should be from 60 
to 75 degrees. Leave the bulbs in this condition for 
fifteen to twenty days, when they may be re- 
moved and placed in cooler storage for the bal- 
ance of the winter. Do not delay this treatment 
too long as the small root nobs that form toward 
spring may be injured by the naphthalene.
