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 fall 
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.
