SHFbenderson’s Modern and Standard Gladiolus 
All of our bulbs are thoroughly cleaned, fumigated, and dipped to destroy thrip and other insects 
When planting in sections where Thrip is prevalent we recommend 
as an extra precaution, soaking the bulbs for six hours in a solution of 
Lysol disinfectant, mixing four tablespoonsful to one gallon of water. 
An effective method for controlling Thrip on growing plants. 
Make careful examinations of plants when 5 to 6 inches high. If 
silvery spots are noticed on the foliage spray with the following solu- 
tion: two ounces of Tartar Emetic snes page ie A ounces brown 
i allons of water, every ten days if necessary.
