To CONTROL THRIP 
See Killer Dust, Page 68. 
Just Before Planting—Dust bulbs lightly with Killer 
Dust. (1 lb. sifter can, only 70c postpaid.) 
During Growing Season—Dust 3 times, beginning 
when plants are only 5 inches high, and making 
the last application just as blooms are beginning 
to open. 
NOTE—When a heavy Thrip infestation occurs, 
or when bulbs are planted several years in suc- 
cession in the same location, weekly dustings may 
be necessary during the growing season. 
For Best Results—Killer Dust should be applied 
when the air is still, preferably in late evening 
or early morning, when the foliage is damp. 
Before Storing Bulbs—After harvesting, cleaning 
and drying the bulbs in fall, dust them lightly 
with Killer Dust before storing for the winter.
