¢ GARDENING

THE PROTECTION OF GLADIOLUS FROM THRIP INJURY

The gladiolus is a favourite gar- den flowcr and widely grown in New Brunswick. Until 1932 it was almost free from insect injury. In August, glsdiolus thrip appeared in the prov- ince for the ﬁrst time and caused serious injury to bloom in gardens located in Moncton, St; Andrews. Fredericton and Woodstock. Ii". is probable that the injury will occur again in 1988 if precautions are not taken to prevent. the insect from developing iii numbers.

The insect spends the winter upon the coriiisin storage and to plant infected corns in the garden is to aid the development of the pest in that garden and its spread to others. Garden owners should take the pt"e- caution of treating all corms before plain-lug in order to prevent the increase and spread of the insect as initch as is possible. Two methods may be used: Ten minutes soaking in hot water at 120 degrees Fair, or three hours soaking in corrosive sublimate solution made up of one- F half ounce of the commercial cry-' stals to three gallons of warm water. Either treatment will destroy all stages of the insect. on the corms. The loose skins on the outside of
