Treatment of Gladiolus 
Bulbs for Thrips 
A good treatment to give the bulbs just be- 
fore planting is the use of Lysol solution. Mix 
4 teaspoonfuls of Lysol to 1 gallon of water. 
Soak the bulbs in this solution for 3 hours or 
more. The bulbs may be dipped and left for 
as long as three weeks before planting. 
We have had good success with a spray con- 
taining D.D.T. for Thrip after the bulbs have 
been planted. Start spraying when the plants 
are 6 to 8 inches high, one application every 10 
days, until the buds appear and then the 
spraying can be discontinued. We have D.D.T. 
in the liquid, Pest-B-Gon. Refer to page 36.
