PLEASE READ—THRIP CONTROL 
NEVER PLANT GLADIOLUS CORMS, UNLESS—they have first been dipped in some 
good disinfectant. This not only is the best precaution against thrip infestation, but it does 
much more, as it helps control fungus rots and bacterial growth, which each year cause so 
much loss to gladiolus growers. 
RECENT EXPERIMENTS: Conducted by Prof. Manley of W. Va., indicate that the follow- 
ing Lysol solution is the IDEAL dip for the control of thrips, fungus rots, and bacterial scab. 
You can purchase Lysol in most any drug store, and you can use Lysol in any kind of con- 
tainer, making sure that all bulbs are completely immersed in the solution. In the use of all 
dips, it is better to have the water a little warm than very cold. The proper concentration for 
this dip is as follows: Use 14 tablespoon of Lysol to each one gal. of water you use, soak for 
three hours, if left in a little longer no harm will result. It is also claimed that this will aid 
and stimulate root growth. Experiment Station work indicates that dipping bulbs (corms) 
before planting, tends to produce better flowers and more healthy bulbs. 
STORAGE: Proper storage is important. Where possible keep bulbs in a cool well venti- 
lated storage. Keep temp. somewhat below 50 F in the mid winter months where this is 
possible. (Lysol soldtion can be used several times. before replacing with fresh solution) .
