NAPHTHOLENE FLAKES 
One teaspoonful to a hundred thoroughly dried and cleaned large or 
medium bulbs is an excellent way to rid your bulbs from thrip during 
storage period. Do not allow flakes to remain more than 5 weeks in your 
semi-closed boxes. 
THRIP 
_ The adult Gladiolus Thrip is a very small black insect about one-sixteenth of an 
inch long. The injury they do causes bleaching of the foliage and drying up of the 
buds so they do not open. There have been volumes written about Mr. Thrip and it 
would seem that further information is superfluous. 
Spray your Glads early and often. Start spraying when the plants are up 6 or 7 
inches high, and spray every week or 10 days. The Government experts of the United 
States and Canada recommend 3 level tablespoons of TARTAR EMETIC (purchase at 
any drug store), 1 lb. brown sugar, 5 gals. of water. Keep this concoction well stirred 
while using as a spray. And remember this poison is deadly to animals and humans 
and must be handled with extreme care. 
If you are thorough in following out a program of disinfecting and spraying you 
will have no trouble with Thrip.
