GLADIOLUS 
The Gladiolus that we list are a selection of the 
best varieties. All our bulbs have been imported 
direct from Holland and, of course, had to pass in- 
spection by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
before bemg admitted to this country. They are 
over-size bulbs, absolutely clean and free from thrips. 
We recommend them with the greatest confidence, 
for they are sure to give splendid results. This 
year you can have a superb supply of Glads for 
cutting all summer long.

GOOD GLADIOLUS INSURANCE 
Gladiolus bulbs can be protected from thrips 
when they are in storage or planted in the garden, 
by the use of 5% DDT Dust. Dust as soon as you 
dig them and again after the bulbs are dry and you 
clean them. Leave this dust on the bulbs when 
planting them. When the plants are growing, 
dust with 5% DDT or spray with 50% DDT 
spray every 10 days. 
Don’t mix fertilizer other than bone meal with 
the soil when you plant your Glads. Spread it over 
the top of the soil after the bulbs are set out and 
covered. 
Chlordane dusted on top of the soil after the bulbs 
have been planted protects them from wireworms.
