4 Kaylor Nurseries, Lakewood, Wash. 
Snowball. The name tells the story— 
a pure white ball shaped flower. Even 
the second crop usually comes fully 
double. A new one popular with all fans. 
$1.00. 
Cynthia. Very “fussy” growers write 
us this is by far the best red in existence. 
It is dark red, not as strong a grower as 
the others, so give it some extra care. 
$3.00. 
Caroline. We consider this the largest 
and best light to medium pink we have 
even seen. $2.00. 
Paragon. Same size as Caroline, short- 
er and thicker petals, a much deeper 
pink. Only a few plants for sale this 
year. $3.50. 
Shasta Daisies 
After the Painted Daisies finish their 
main blooming, these take their place 
and usually last until frost. They are 
lower growing, shorter stems, but in the 
case of Esther Reed have the same fully 
double flowers all summer long. Esther 
Reed plants 35c. Strong divisions, to 
bloom late the first year, 5 for $1.00. 
Chiffon. Double flowers, not so full as 
Esther Reed, with lacinated edges and 
some yellow in center. 40c. 
G. Marconi. Very large ragged edged 
white flowers. Best to stake it—has 
strong stems but they cannot support 
extra large flowers. 40c. 
Gladiolus 
Several years ago we got an idea that 
wire worms were responsible for the 
spread of some glad diseases. The last 
two seasons studies have been conducted 
along this line and with the result that 
Mr. Wire Worm has been found guilty 
as charged. Not so sure but what the 
angle worm is also guilty. 
The trouble is that wire worm dam- 
age does not show up until well along in 
the season. Blooming size bulbs fail to 
throw up a spike, the leaves turn yellow 
and when the plant is dug up a hole is 
found through the stem, the center has 
rotted and a jelly-like substance has 
formed around the crown. Too late now, 
so the best thing to do is rogue the 
patch, remove and burn all affected 
plants and give the rest a good spray- 
ing. 
How to control the trouble? Well here 
is how we are now planting—preventive 
measures muSt be taken. Trenches are 
opened with a trencher attached to our 
Standard Twin tractor. These trenches 
are well sprayed with a strong solution 
of Carco X. The trench is worked over 
again to mix the material into the soil. 
This should be done immediately after
