ABOUT THRIPS 
Here we have had good results from gassing the 
bulbs, also from the use of Naphthalene. There is a dif- 
ference of opinion about Naphthalene; some think it in- 
jures the bulbs, others do not, but for the small grower 
it seems to be the logical thing to use about one ounce 
to 100 large bulbs. Place a paper over them for a while, 
then take it off some 3 weeks and if the bulbs have air 
the flakes will not injure them. 
Large owners no doubt will gas where possible. Be- 
fore you plant your bulbs by all means disinfect them 
—tuse one can of commercial lye to twenty or twenty- 
five gallons of water, soak ten or twelve hours. This is 
cheap and quite effective, but there are several prepara- 
tions on the market that may be better but more trouble 
to use perhaps. 
After the glads are up spray with two tablespoons 
of Paris Green and one and one-half pints of Molasses . 
in three gallons of water or you can use Brown Sugar or 
Glucose. Spray as often as you can but once a week at 
least. There are other sprays on the market you can 
use if you like. 
JUST A FEW CULTURAL NOTES 
The Gladioli are so easy to grow that they may be 
planted anywhere so long as they are in the sun—but 
will not do well in the shade. Don’t try it. 
Plant any time after the middle of April to the 
middle of June, in any manner that best suits your plot 
of ground. Plant from two to five inches deep, the larger 
the bulb the deeper it should be planted. It stands up 
better. 
Now start the cultivator. The more the soil is kept 
stirred when not too wet the better it conserves the 
moisture and your plants will do better. 
The Gladioli will take a lot of water at blooming 
time. If you are in a position to water them at this time, 
do so. If not they will do fairly well without by keeping 
the soil well stirred up. 
When cutting the flowers keep as many leaves as 
possible on the plant to mature the bulb. Too low cut- 
ting weakens the bulb. 
When digging, cut the stalk close to the bulb and 
dry well. When dried and cleaned, store in cellar away 
from the furnace. If near the furnace keep a dish of 
water near them. 
The flower of the Gladiolus is the finest for vases 
for the sick room, hospital, churches, cemetery and 
decorations of all kinds. Use them freely. 
While I make no special claim for my bulbs, every 
year I receive many fine letters from customers who 
were pleased with my stock and pleased with the service 
rendered. We have a large stock and ship orders 
promptly.
