First: Open package as soon as received, rae lea oulbs, and, if you are not 
roady to plant, store :them in your vegetable celler r, or a plane where if is not too 
warm or too cold, After your soil has been prepared in the Spring of the year, 
furrow out your rows aad scatter in the ses of the trench, a good Commercial

zer that is available -in your cormunity. Mix well with soil, setting large 
bulbs about five inches deep, aud five inches apart, other size bulbs in proportion, 
with the smallest about two inches decp and two inches hah Gi All Glad bulbs must

watering e Soe ‘aying and Perna. for thrio (adults are small. black insects about 
1/16 of an inch Long) we have used the tivo following formulas: 
DDT Spray: 2 roundéd teaspoonfuls DDT (50%) wettable; 1 teaspoonful Dreft; 
= a = ? 
2 gallons water, mix well and spray every week or ten days when foliage is 
4 J 3 Ay 
about 8 or 10 inches high. 
DDT Dust for thrip: 5% DDT dust and we use a roto dust gun. This is the 
quickest and easiest control. As effective as spraying but very much faster. 
We dust once in about every 10 deys after foliage is 8 or 10 inches high. Do 
not use DDT dust on blooms as it will spot, 
If you send us names of friends that grow Glads with your orders we will add extra 
bulbs as a reward, 
These are State inspected bulbs. We try to and observe the fact that making friends 
is very essential to our business,
