SUGGESTIONS FOR DIPPING, DUSTING 
AND SPRAYING 
LYSOL DIP 
4 tablespoons of Lysol 
3 gallons of water 
or 
1 pint of Lysol 
25 gallons of water 
Soak bulbs in the Lysol solution for at 
least 3 hours and no longer than 6 hours; 
soak bulblets overnight or 12 to 14 hours. 
After bulbs or bulblets are removed from the 
solution allow to drain for 30 minutes and 
plant same day as treated, preferably while 
still wet. 
DUSTING FOR THRIPS 
The easiest and most efficient means of 
controlling Thrips is to dust the foliage of the 
plants with 5% DDT. Many types of dust- 
ers are available and one can be obtained to 
suit your size and planting. Begin dusting 
when plants are in the third leaf and con- 
tinue about every two weeks. 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% DDT 
% teaspoon of Dreft 
1 gallon of water 
For larger plantings—2 lb of 50% DDT, 
% pint of liquid soap, 25 gallons of water. 
The wettable form DDT should be used 
when using a spray material. 
LYSOL & DDT ARE POISONOUS.
