A.B. C. GLADIOLUS GROWN 
EXCLUSIVELY FOR CORMS 
In common with numerous horticultural subjects, the crop of Gladiolus 
bulbs produced in the northern country, where this family qualifies 
to best advantage, has developed into a comparatively short volume 
of many of the most prominent cutflower varieties. We believe, 
therefore, it will be to the interest of buyers of this line to anticipate 
their needs as far in advance as possible. Our extensive cultures 
of Gladiolus, carried on exclusively for corm production, (not cut- 
flowers) insures the buyer that quality, needed for worth while results. 
PICARDY 
Picardy has proved to be one of the most outstanding cut flower 
Gladiolus introduced in the past decade and this very worthwhile 
variety has created no end of unusually favorable comment from the 
trade and public as well.

IMPORTANT NOTE—“‘The Control of Gladiolus Thrips” 
Notwithstanding that a grower may start his cultures with perfectly healthy 
bulbs (corms), thrips may develop in his plantings by invasion of the pest 
introduced from untreated corms planted in the vicinity, and consequently 
spraying with ‘’Tartar Emetic’’ becomes necessary. 
SUGAR FOR INSECTICIDES 
If you have difficulty in securing brown sugar for tartar emetic, advise your OPA board con- 
ceiming Sugar Instruction Letter No. 129, Section 6. It reads: "Plorists that in the past have 
used sugar in making insecticides may be registered as industrial users of sugar provided that 
they are able to present the figure of their 1941 sugar usage with which to establish a 
sugar base.”
