Gladiolus, Pelegrina 

IMPORTANT 
| During the past several years Gladiolus 
have suffered badly from infestations of 
Thrips and it has become necessary to 
treat aJl bulbs before planting to rid them 
of these pests. All of our bulbs have been 
| so treated, but if you have other bulbs, 
they should be treated before planting be- 
cause the insects will spread rapidly. 
Soak the bulbs for six hours in a solu- 
tion of Lysol, using 4 teaspoonfuls of 
Lysol to each gallon of water. Several 
lots may be treated at the same time by 
tying up each ina cloth bag. A wood label 
marked with an indelible pencil, may be 
used to tag them.

—A word as to the covers and something | 
about gardening for victory 
Grout Cauer —“Springlime in Ahe Garden a 
Robins on the front lawn, warm mellow earth, seeds, tools, ‘‘Spring fever,” all signal 
the gardener that another planting season is at hand—with its opportunities to grow better, 
tastier, and more succulent vegetables, to grow old favorite flowers, to adventure with 
The Front Cover of our Book symbolizes all these things. It perhaps well expresses 
the urge of Spring, the push from within, the beckoning hand as it were, suggesting the 
turning of pages in order to see the mysteries and magic of gardening that lie within. 
Back Cover —The Seasou of Aaruest” 
What is more satisfying, more soul-stirring than the Autumn Harvest of well-ripened 
Fruits and vitamin-filled Vegetables, the products of your own foresight and care through 
the growing season? Our Back Cover, we feel, carries this message of accomplishment, 
the Victory won after the battles of the Summer are over. 
“Gardening for Victory’’ is no empty phrase, for from our gardens we can obtain 
not only the fruits and vegetables so important for health but more, much more than that! 
Gardening affords no end of pleasure as well as relaxation from the wear and tear that 
the struggles and stress of a war existence impose upon us. Get out into the sun, roll Wp ec 
the sleeves, and start turning the fertile soil that good old Mother Earth has provided—tree. | 

you—our gardening friends.
