Glad Diseases 
Or Last summer a man drove in at the 
te nursery and said he had been told: “Kaylor 
_ is a nut on Glad diseases. He probably 
_ knows as much about them as any man 
e in the Northwest. He has been studying 
the subject for twenty years. See him.” 
I admitted the truth of the statement, 
and then told the visitor I must be a poor 
physician, since the twenty years of study 
and experimental work had not solved the 
2» problem. 
Through the kindness of Dr. C. J. Gould, 
- Western Washington Experiment Station, 
S Duvalliip: I had a chance, last summer, to 
try out a number of new chemicals. Several 
of these are not yet on the market, but

spreader-sticker in aoe a soaking solu- 
tion. 
. New iotowed ceresan, with spreader- 
sticker, gave fair control but soaking time 
is too short, less than thirty minutes. It 
has been my experience that penetration 
of disease lesions must be made if treat- 
ment is to be effective. Penetration is ob- 
tained through soaking for four to twelve 
hours. Bichloride of mercury is an old 
standard, one ounce to seven gallons of 
water, soak four or more hours. We have 
had good results with common concentrated 
_ lye, thirteen ounces, twenty gallons of 
water and soak four to twelve hours. Use 
of the latter treatment makes bulblets 
“pop” out of the ground. Spraying with 
Bordeaux or Fermate just as bud spike 
- forms is beneficial.

ance. Also the use of a complete fertilizer,

irrigate, so side dressing would be of little 
benefit to us. 
The foregoing relates to bulb and soil 
bourne diseases. We have not had any 
experience with thrips, due possibly to the 
thorough pre-planting soaking of every 
bulb and bulblet.
