Notes On Gladiolus Culture 
WARNINGI It is our sincere advice to you not to attempt to grow Gladiolus 
unless you are prepared to spray regularly throughout the growing 
season. We recommend the following formula: 
1 Lb. of Tartar Emetic or Paris Green 
4 Lbs. of Brown Sugar to 25 Gallons of Water 
Price of Tartar Emetic: 1-Ib. containers only—$1.50 per Ib. 
Price of Paris Green: 4-oz. package 25c; 1-lb. package 60c. 
Price of Corrosive Sublimate: 4-o0z. package $1.50; 1-lb. package $5.50. 
Will control as well as prevent any thrip infestation. This formula can be made up in 
any quantity using the same proportions. If you are planting old bulbs, we advise the 
following treatment: submerge the bulbs in a solution of 1 oz. of Corrosive Sublimate 
(Bichloride of Mercury) to 72 gallons of water. Submerge bulbs before planting and 
they may be planted while still moist. Bulbs should be submerged at least two hours.
