I can supply bulblets in quantity, at wholesale prices, on many varities. Why not send me a list of your 
needs? Will be glad to quote you prices. 
(L) large, (M) medium, and (S) small sizes are those common to the trade. Large bulbs can be de- 
pended upon for the finest spikes. Medium size bulbs will prove very satisfactory. Small bulbs may do well. 
Gladioli are very easy to grow. Following are a few of the principal rules to follow: 
Comments on a few varieties . White Gold was again the tallest and largest but it had a lot of com- 
petition, Yankee Lass, Malta, Misty Dawn, Jeanie, Margaret Beacon, Corona, Beacon, yes and many 
others were grand. Stoplight seems to be ahead in the newer reds but King Klick and Mercury were nice. 
Spotlight is a beautiful yellow. King Lear, Vulcan and Purple Supreme are ahead in this color. Barcarole 
is a nice orange but late. Fair Angel is large, tall and nicely ruffled. Magnolia was splendid last season. 
It’s a beautiful flower. Try Rose Delight for a smaller glad, it’s nice. While many other varieties were 
grand these few seem to have been a little extra. 
Select a place in the open garden where other tall growing plants will not shade them. Glads like and 
need full sunshine. Mix with the soil, any good grade of commercial fertilizer or well rotted compost or 
manure. Select good healthy bulbs. Place them in a trench at least five inches deep and about three inches 
apart in a straight or staggered row. Cover at once. It is better to plant deeper than too shallow. One or 
two light applications of fertilizer during the growing season, before buds appear, will help insure good 
spikes. 
Join the Connectitcut Gladiolus Society if you live nearby. You will be warmly welcomed by its mem- 
bers. Send the dues of $2.00 to me and I will be glad to forward them to the Secretary. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
Successful control measures include the following: 
(1) Treat the bulbs with Cyanogas-G or other fumigant upon digging the bulbs in the fall. Small 
quantities of bulbs may be put in paper bags or shoe boxes and sprinkled with Napthalene flakes — 1 ounce 
per 100 bulbs. Let the flakes evaporate. (2) Store in a cool, dry place and keep at a temperature of 40 de- 
grees. Do not let the bulbs freeze. (3) Treat or soak in a solution of bichloride of mercury (corrosive subli- 
mate) before planting. Husk the bulbs previously, if possible. Soak for two hours in a solution of 1.1000. 
one tablet to one pint of water. Use stone crocks, glass jars, or wooden tubs—not a metal container. Large 
numbers of bulbs may be tied in sacks and kneaded on the floor in lieu of husking. Thorough soaking will 
destroy all thrips and their eggs. (4) Spray every week or ten days after the plants are six inches high. 
Do not wait until the buds appear. It is too late then. Effective spraying will control those thrips that have 
survived or that may appear from nearby infestations. 
Tartar Emetic, used as follows, has proven very satisfactory in controlling thrips. Tartar Emetic 414 
teaspoonsful, sugar 1 2/3 cups, water 3 gals. Apply late in the afternoon or early evening.
