GLADIOLUS THRIPS 
A destructive insect of microscopic size 
causing a silvered appearance on the foliage, 
drying of the flower-buds, and a general 
blighting of the plant. 
Gladiolus corms obtained from us have 
been treated to control thrips. On their 
arrival, however, we recommend: 
Before Planting 
1. Remove the skins, so that “bare” 
corms are planted. Do not injure the tips. 
2. Stir 214 ounces of Semesan in one gallon 
of water. Immerse the corms in the liquid 
for seven hours; dry and plant. 
During Growth 
3. Spray with Sawco Thrip Spray. Dis- 
solve one pound in 10 gallons of water and 
apply every two weeks. 
When Bulbs Are Lifted 
4. In autumn, burn the tops cut from the 
lifted corms. Place corms in a low, but not 
freezing, temperature for six weeks. 
5. Next cover with paper, first dusting 
through them one pound of Thripco to each 
1000 corms. Avoid containers with close- 
fitting lids; ventilation is necessary. 
6. At the end of one month, shake out the 
Thripco or Naphthalene Flakes, and store the 
treated corms in the usual way. 
LILY-OF-THE-V ALLEY 
For Outdoor Planting 
We recommend the use of individual roots 
or “‘pips,”’ rather than clumps for planting a 
Lily-of-the-Valley bed. They should be two 
years old, and may be set out at intervals of 
4 inches each way. We offer high-quality 
pps. 10 pips 75 cts., 25 pips $1.75, 100 pips 
Note. Imported Valley pips for greenhouse 
culture are not available—due to war.
