cumference or “around” which is mis- 
leading.

NOTES ON GLADIOLUS CULTURE 
Gladiolus are easy to grow. They give best 
results in rich soil, a sunny location and a 
good deep irrigation once every week or 10 
days. Dig in some fertilizer at time of 
planting and another application on the 
surface when they are a foot high. 
Important—To prevent thrips on gladiolus 
begin spraying when the plants are 6 
inches high and again every 10 days until 
the flower buds begin to show color. We 
suggest DURA DUST No. 50 which is 50% 
wettable DDT. In addition to thrip pre- 
vention Dura Dust is also very effective 
in the control of cutworms, earwigs, sow 
bugs, ants, etc., and for codling moth on 
apples and pears, 
1 lb. pkg. $1.00 ($1.25 packed and postpaid) 
When you cut gladiolus leave some of the 
foliage to store food for the next year. 
When the foliage is yellowed, dig and store 
the bulbs in a dry place and dust them with 
Gladiolus Dust. 2 oz. pkg. 30c, postpaid. 
This is a DDT Dust which prevents insect 
infestation during the storage period. 
BABY GLADS 
Excellent for Cutting 
In California we plant these during the 
fall months for early spring bloom; in 
more severe climates the bulbs may be 
kept in a cool place until spring as other 
gladiolus. They bloom early and make good 
cut flowers. The bulbs multiply. Plant 3 
inches deep, 4 inches apart, 
4 for 60c; 12 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00 
AMANDA MAY—Large deep salmon. 
PEACH BLOSSOM — Blush pink blotched 
rose and cream. 
SPIT FIRE—Brilliant scarlet. 
THE BRIDE—Large pure white.
