THRIPS CONTROL. Thrips, which cause the blooms to fail to open 
properly, are the chief cause of failure in the growing of fine Glads. 
These small insects often live over winter on the bulbs. They may 
travel a mile or more from infested gardens. To kill thrips in storage, 
use Napthalene Flakes at the rate of one tablespoon to 1 or 2 gallons 
of bulbs in moderately tight containers. Put on as soon in the fail 
as the bulbs are fairly dry and remove from the bulbs 6 or 8 weeks 
before planting. At planting time the bulbs may be soaked 8 to 12 
hours in 1 teaspoon of Corrosive Sublimate to 2 gallons of water in 
non-metal containers, or in 2 tablespoons of Lysol to 8 gallons of water 
in any kind of containers. This kills all thrips and many kinds of disease 
spores. In summer to control thrips from other gardens, spray on a 
mist of 1 level teaspoon of Tartar Emetic and % cup Brown Sugar to 
1 quart of water, after rain, or every 7 to 12 days, starting’ when the 
sprouts are a few inches high. Watch for silvery spots on the foliage. 
These usually are the first signs of the presence of the pests. 
6 bulbs at 5 times and 25 bulbs at 18 times the single price.
