I can supply bulblets in quantity at wholesale prices, on many varieties. Why not send me a list of 
your needs? Will be glad to quote you prices. 
(L) large, (M) medium, and (S) small sizes are those common to the trade. Large bulbs can be de- 
pended upon for the finest spikes. Medium size bulbs will prove very satisfactory. Small bulbs may do well. 
Gladioli are very easy to grow. Following are a few principal rules to follow. 
Select a place in the open garden where other tall growing plants will not shade them. Glads like and 
need full sunshine. Mix with the soil, any good grade of commercial fertilizer or well rotted compost or 
manure. Select good healthy bulbs. Place them in a trench at least five inches deep and about three inches 
apart in a straight or staggered row. Cover at once. It is better to plant deeper than too shallow. One or 
two light applications of fertilizer during the growing season, before buds appear, will help insure good 
spikes. 
Join the Connecticut Gladiolus Society, if you live nearby. You will be warmly welcomed by its mem- 
bers. Send the dues of $2.00 to me and I will be glad to forward them to the Secretary. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED 
Successful control measures include the following. 
(1) Treat the bulbs with Cyanogas-G or other fumigant upon digging the bulbs in the fall. Small 
quantities of bulbs may be put in paper bags or shoe boxes and sprinkled with Napthalene flakes—1 ounce 
per 100 bulbs. Let the flakes evaporate. (2) Store in a cool, dry place and keep at a temperature of 40 de- 
grees. Do not let the bulbs freeze. (8) Treat or soak in a solution of bichloride of mercury (corrosive 
sublimate) before planting. Husk the bulbs previously, if possible. Soak for two hours in a solution of 
1.1000, one tablet to one pint of water. Use stone crocks, glass jars, or wooden tubs — not a metal con- 
tainer. Large numbers of bulbs may be tied in sacks and kneaded on the floor in lieu of husking. Thorough 
soaking will destroy all thrips and their eggs. (4) Spray every week or ten days after the plants are six 
inches high. Do not wait until the buds appear. It is too late then. Effective spraying will control those 
thrips that have survived or that may appear from nearby infestations. 
Tartar Emetic, used as follows, have proven very satisfactory in controlling thrips. Tartar Emetic 
414 teaspoonful, sugar 1 2/3 cups, water 3 gals. Apply late in the afternoon or early evening. 
D. D. T. is being used very successfully either as a spray or dust. But caution must be taken as this 
is a very deadly poison and must not be inhaled.
