GLADIOLUS CULTURE 
Note: The following instructions apply to average normal growing conditions; 
should unusual soil or climatic conditions prevail, the amateur gladiolus 
grower should consult his County Agricultural Agent or a local gladiolus 
grower. 
Stock for Planting: Secure healthy stock from a reliable source specializing in 
quality gladiolus bulbs. Look over all Bulbs and discard any that show signs of rot. 
Maximum size blooms usually are obtained from large plump bulbs; better results can 
be expected from young high-crowned bulbs of at least l-inch in diameter than from 
older and larger “thin” bulbs. As a safe-guard against thrips all bulbs, regardless 
of source, should be dusted with DDT (5%) as soon as received by the purchaser. 
(We guarantee our bulbs to be healthy and free of thrips when you receive them, but 
if they are placed in close proximity to bulbs already infested, they may become 
infested also.) 
Dips: Dips control disease. Dip your own bulbs and those you buy, before planting. 
Two proveh formulas: New Improved Ceresan, one ounce (approximately 4 level table- 
spoons) plus 3 teaspoon measures duPont (Grasselli) Spreader Sticker or Dreft to 
3 gallons water. Mix N.I.C. in sauce dish with Spreader Sticker, use wooden ladle 
(keep fingers out, poison to skin in this concentrated form), then-add to 3 gallons 
water. (Okay for hands to be in this weakened solution.) Soak bulbs 15 minuted, 
plant in damp soil same day. Bulblets not peeled, 30 minutes, peeled, 15 minutes. 
Plant same as above. Another dip: Lysol, one and a half tablespoonfuls per gallon 
of water. Soak bulbs 3 hours, bulblets 3 hours. Plant same day.
