I can supply bulblets in quantity, at wholesale prices, on many varieties. 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. /Kollowing are a few of the principal rules to follow: 
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. 
This past season was the hardest on blooms of any we have experienced in the twenty odd years we 
have grown Glads commercially. No appreciable raintall during the summer months. Anyone who was un- 
able to irrigate was just out of luck. We were fortunate and could irrigate. 
Following are the first ten to bloom in my patch this past season. 
Gold Dust came first, three days ahead of Rosa Van Lima and Maid of Orleans. Anna Mae came only 
a day later. Harman was the first of the reds to bloom. This one is large and tall too. Acca Laurenta an 
orange, and a new addition came next. Max Reger and Miss Bloomington were the next to make their ap- 
pearance. Next came the gigantic White Gold and last an old variety Mary Frey. 
Will not try to comment on the newer ones as most of them bloomed during the dry weather before we 
were able to irrigate. 
Join the Connecticut 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 inciude tne 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 
sublimate) 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 toolate 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.
