Our Glads are Free from Thrip! 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting 
stock for the past 8 years our Gladioli have always 
been free from thrip. As an added precaution and 
to be sure that bulbs supplied by us are abso- 
lutely free from this pest, we will also scientifically 
treat our bulbs again before shipment is made to 
our customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip lives in the soil, as well as 
on the bulbs in storage, through the winter, it is 
imperative that our bulbs be planted on soil where 
Gladioli were not grown last year and not close to 
other Gladioli from other sources. 
If you have other bulbs they should be treated 
before planting. Soak the bulbs for 6 hours in 
a solution of Lysol, using 4 teaspoonfuls to each 
gallon of water.
