beak Gladiolus mess 
In order to avoid damage by thrips to their flowers, Gladiolus should be 
planted early. In the north this means as scon os the ground can be worked and 
there is no more danger of its freezing to the depth of planted bulbs. 
In California, southern Arizona to southern Texas, where winters are mild 
they may be planted between November 15 and March 1. There is usually no dif- 
ference in the time of blooming between bulbs planted November 15 or March 1. 
They po together except when unusually warm winter weather causes earlier 
growth. 
There is time yet to plant Glads in the south. In central to northern Cali- 
fornia and in coastal regions the limit may be extended to April 1. In the north, 
Glad planting may be the first garden activity in the spring. 
To avoid damage to flowers by thrips, three measures are effective. Use all 
three. Plant within dates mentioned. Plant treated bulbs. Irrigate by overhead
