Popularity ratings on some of the new- 
er varieties may be lower than the old 
favorites due to the fact that they are 
not as well known as the older varieties. 
While a high national rating denotes ex- 
treme excellence, it does not establish 
these varieties necessarily as better than 
those of lower rating.

Notes On Gladiolus Culture 
WARNINGI !t is our sincere advice to you not to attempt to grow Gladiolus 
unless you are prepared to spray regularly throughout the grow- 
ing 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-lb, containers only—$1.50 per Ib. 
Price of Paris Green: 4-0z. package 25c; 1-lb. package 60c. 
Price of Corrosive Sublimate: 4-oz. 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 7% gallons of water. Submerge bulbs before 
planting and they may be planted while still moist. Bulbs should be submerged at 
least two hours.
