Again we offer you the very latest information we have available on thrip control. 
The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station at Bradenton, Florida has made thorough 
tests on thrip control and find that Chlordane treatments are better than standard DDT 
treatments at odds of 19:1. It also shows that twice as many blooms show no thrip injury as 
when DDT was used. From all information that | can find it looks as if 1949 will be thrip free 
with Chlordane instead of DDT. 
Chlordane is new, coming out for the first time during this past season. Miraculous 
results have been obtained using it against ants and other insects earlier this year. It is our 
policy to make glad growing as easy as possible for you and to make available the very best 
insecticides. 
5% CHLORDANE DUST—To apply dust foliage every two weeks after the glads get their 
5th leaf. Can also be used to dust bulbs in storage. Napthalene flakes are now obsolete. 
2 lbs. $1.00 Salbsao2.25> 10 Ibs. $4.25 Postpaid 
50% WETTABLE CHLORDANE POWDER—50% Wettable Chlordane Powder is readily 
mixed with water at the rate of 1-lb. to 50 gallons. One ounce makes just over 3 gallons of 
spray. The spray gave slightly better results than the dust. Spray every 2 weeks after the 
plants get their 5th leaf. 
1 Ib. $1.10 3 Ibs. $3.00 Postpaid 
5% DDT POWDER—If you prefer to use DDT which gave us very satisfactory control this 
past season, apply every 10 days after the 5th leaf appears. Dust your bulbs as soon as 
they are cleaned with it.

WIREWORM CONTROL. One patch of ground planted this spring was full of Wireworms 
but after using Benzene Hexachloride last year | had no fear of Wireworm damage. This 
season | used 2% Gamma Isomer of Benzene Hexachloride at the rate of 30 Ibs. per acre. 
| made my furrows, placed my bulbs in the rows and then applied the dust on top and covered 
the bu'bs. In that whole patch of ground | did not see one bulb with Wireworm damage or a 
single Wireworm at digging time. Use at the rate of one Ib. to 1500 sq. feet.

WHEN YOU PLANT. No mention is made of Arasan, a DuPont product, in the cultural 
folder which we send with each order. For those of you that have just a few bulbs we recom- 
mend a Lysol dip. Use 1 tsp. Lysol to a quart of water and soak the bulbs for 3 hours, then 
plant. However, if you have quite a number of bulbs to plant we highly recommend Arasan 
| used it altogether last year and my harvest this fall is almost 100% disease free bulbs. 
Vy tsp. of Arasan will dust a hundred large bulbs. On a cold February day it sure is a lot 
pleasanter to be planting dry bulbs dusted with Arasan than to plant wet Cerasan or Lysol 
treated bulbs. % Ib. can will dust several thousand bulbs.
