Be sure and dip your gladiolus in a good disinfectant so as to kill any eggs or 
thrip that may be on the bulb. Do this regardless of where you buy your bulbs. We 
use Lysol, four teaspoons full to one gallon of water and immerse bulbs for six hours. 
Any water container will do. Can be done at any time before planting or just at 
planting. It is well to begin spraying the plants when they are six or eight inches 
tall, every ten days until they bloom, with Tartar Emetic, one gallon of water, one 
tablespoon full of Tartar Emetic, four tablespoons of brown sugar. 
In the Fall about the best time to pull up your bulbs would be after the first 
killing frost or just before the leaves start dying oF. Cut the leaves right close 
to the bulbs, placing the bulbs in shallow boxes to dry. At the end of two or three 
weeks remove the old bulbs and store your new bulbs in a dry, cool place. A vege- 
table cellar is a dry, cool place.
