TREATMENT OF GLADIOLUS 
BULBS FOR THRIPS 
To treat your Gladiolus Bulbs for thrips 
use Napthalene Flakes at the rate of 1 oz. 
to each 100 large or 250 medium size bulbs. 
Cover the containers, preferably a shallow 
box or tray with newspaper. Perforate the 
paper with small holes to allow excessive 
gas to escape. After three weeks sift out 
the flakes. This treatment will kill both 
thrips and eggs. Do not treat the bulbs 
with napthalene after the roots begin to 
show, as it will burn them. 
Another good treatment to give the 
bulbs just before planting is the use of 
Lysol solution. Mix 4 teaspoonfuls of 
Lysol to 1 gallon of water. Soak the bulbs 
in this solution for 16 hours or more. The 
bulbs may be dipped and left for as long 
as three weeks before planting. 



PEONIES 
Peonies do not bloom well the first year but improve rapidly when established. 
The following twelve double peonies are considered among the best in their class. 
Many of them are very fragrant. 
Peonies are easily grown almost any- 
where in ordinary garden soil, the princi- 
pal thing to remember in planting is to see 
that the eyes are not more than an inch 
or two below the surface. Too deep plant- 
ing is the most common cause of failure 
to flower. The varieties here listed will 
all flower profusely, increasing in beauty 
from year to year and may be left undis- 
turbed for 20 years. 
While Peonies give best results when 
fall planted, in this climate they may he 
planted any time during winter up until 
about April Ist, with average weather.
