NEW IMPROVED CERESAN DIP 
1 ounce New Improved Ceresan 
3 teaspoons Grasselli Spreader Sticker or 3 teaspoons Dreft 
3 gallons water 
To get a good preparation easily, mix the Ceresan and wetting agent 
together, add a little water at a time, and stir until a uniform mixture 
is obtained. DO NOT USE THE HANDS WHEN STIRRING. Soak bulbs 
in the solution for 15 minutes, stirring several times during treatment; 
soak bulblets for 30 minutes. After bulbs or bulblets are removed from 
the solution, allow them to drain for about 30 minutes, and plant 
IMMEDIATELY. Delay in planting can cause injury to the bulbs. If the 
ground is dry at planting time we suggest the Lysol treatment instead 
of the Ceresan Dip, as dryness can cause a delay in germination or 
growth besides possible injury to the bulbs. 
DUSTING FOR THRIPS 
The easiest and most efficient means of controlling THRIPS is to dust 
the foliage of the plants with 5% D.D.T. Begin dusting when plants are 
in third leaf and continue about every ten days to two weeks until the 
spikes start to show color. Best results will be obtained when the dust 
is applied to the plants while the dew is still on them. 
SPRAYING FOR THRIPS 
1 rounded teaspoon of 50% D.D.T. 
1/2 teaspoon of Dreft 
1 gallon of water 
For larger plantings-1/2 lb. 50% D.D.T., 1/2 pint liquid soap, 25 gal- 
lons of water. The Wettable form of D.D.T. should be used when using 
a spray material. 
CAUTION: Lysol, New Improved Ceresan, and D.D.T. are poisonous 
and care should be taken in handling and storing these materials. Do 
no inhale D.D.T. dust.
