This year, I have a number of extra large jumbo bulbs. If you wish these bulbs, specify, and send your 
order in early. The bulbs I prefer to grow myself and will use in filling orders are plump, high crowned 
stock grown from bulblets or small planting stock. (L) large, (M) medium, and (S) small sizes are those 
common to the trade. Large bulbs can be depended upon for the finest spikes. Medium size bulbs will prove 
very satisfactory. Small bulbs may do well. Varieties in the 40-25-15 range, such as Aflame, Aida, Yvonne, 
may also be purchased in standard sizes per 100 as follows: No. 2, $2.40; No. 3, $2.00; No. 4, $1.50; No. 5, 
$1.00; No. 6, 60c; prepaid delivery. 
Gladioli are very easy to grow. Following are a few of the principal rules to follow: 
Select a place in the open garden where other tall growing plants will not shade them. Glads like and 
need full sunshine. Mix with the soil, any good grade of commercial fertilizer or well rotted compost or 
manure. Select good healthy bulbs. Place them in a trench at least five inches deep and about three inches 
apart in a straight or staggered row. Cover at once. It is better to plant deeper than too shallow. One or 
two light applications of fertilizer during the growing season. before buds appear, will help insure good 
spikes. 
Join the Connecticut Gladiolus Society if you live nearby. You will be warmly welcomed by its mem- 
bers. Send the dues of $2.00 to me and I will be glad to forward them to the Secretary. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
Successful control measures include the following: 
(1) Treat the bulbs with Cyanogas-G or other fumigant upon cleaning the bulbs in the fall. Small 
quantities of bulbs may be put in paper bags or shoe boxes and sprinkled with Napthalene flakes—1 ounce 
per 100 bulbs. Let the flakes evaporate. (2) Store in a cool, dry place and keep at a temperature of 40 de- 
grees. Do not let the bulbs freeze. (8) Treat or soak in solution of bichloride of mercury (corrosive subli- 
mate) before planting. Husk the bulbs previously, if possible. Soak for two hours in a solution of 1.1000. 
one tablet to one pint of water. Use stone crocks, glass jars, or wooden tubs—not a metal container. Large 
numbers of bulbs may be tied in sacks and kneaded on the floor in lieu of husking. Thorough soaking will 
destroy all thrips and their eggs. (4) Spray every week or ten days after the plants are six inches high. 
Do not wait until the buds appear. It is too late then. Effective spraying will control those thrips that have 
survived or that may appear from nearby infestations. 
Tartar Emetic, used as follows, has proven very satisfactory in controlling thrips. Tartar Emetic 414 
teaspoonsful, sugar 1 2/3 cups, water 3 gals. Apply late in the afternoon or early evening. 
Among the newer ones. The following information, which I am passing on to you, is from my own ex- 
perience in growing these varieties. It is necessary to grow each variety several seasons and on different 
soils before giving a real estimate of its merits. I will try to explain with Amberglow. I have grown this 
variety four seasons, the first two on light soils and the last two on heavy. The first years it crooked badly 
about 75% but the past two seasons it has cut about 95%. The color is good. We need it. Now Aladdin 
I have grown on all soils but it is still too short. Buffille is far ahead in this color class. Camillia is short 
with me. Capeheart is tall, straight and opens nicely. Crystal is large and white but too hard to handle. Del 
Ray was a giant and made huge spikes. Flora Farmer doesn’t do well for me. Jasmine is nice, but not a 
commercial. Josef Haydn was the tallest blue. Nearly six feet. Magnolia is a beauty. Mother Kadel looks 
very promising. Myrna was in good demand as a cutflower. Rima, while not new, was gorgeous. .Rosa Van 
Lima is a must have, whether you grow a few or a lot. Sensation is a giant but too late. Shirley Temple 
still crooks terribly. especially from large bulbs. While Snow Princess has Larger flowers than Maid of 
Orleans it did not grow as tall or open as many flowers. Timbuctoo is rather short but opens a lot of flowers. 
Tunias’ Trumph fades too easily. Valeria is the red to replace Dr. Bennett. White Gold while not a commer- 
cial is well worth watching. : es 
I am not listing Coral Glow this year. My stock has become mixed with a light pink, which I do not 
know. It’s not much of a flower. If you were one to get this last year, please let me know and I will be glad 
to replace it.
