Suggestions for Dipping and Spraying 
Lysol dip, which we recommend be used on every bulb and bulblet 
planted, no matter from what source they were obtained. 
4 tablespoons of Lysol | pint of Lysol 
to Or to 
3 gallons of water 25 gallons of water 
Soak bulbs in the Lysol solution for at least 3 hours and not longer than 
6 hours. Soak bulblets over night or 12 to 14 hours. After bulbs or bulblets 
are removed from the solution, allow to drain for a few minutes and plant 
same day as treated, preferably while still wet. 
Dusting or spraying 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 tc 
snow color. Best results will be obtained when the dust is applied to the plants 
while the dew is still on them. 
If you wish to spray, use three rounded tablespoons of 50% wettable 
D.D.T. and one tablespoon Dreft to 3 gallons of water. Don’t let the large 
amcunt of D.D.T. worry you, it won‘t hurt the plant but it will kill the thrips.
