AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. 



The American Gladiolus Society's 

 ninth annual exhibition was held in 

 Buffalo. Aug. 14-16, at the Hotel Iro- 

 quois. Considering present conditions 

 the show was as successful as could 

 be expected, in fact the members of the 

 society were very much pleased with 

 the results. Many of the leading 

 growers from distant points were in 

 attendance and made numerous credit- 

 able displays, and the quality was 

 quite equal to those of other years. 

 Local growers and florists gave their 

 unselfish assistance and did all in 

 their power for the convenience and- 

 comfort of those in attendance. At 

 the bjsiness meeting during the even- 

 ing of the first day. Prof. A. C. Beal 

 of Ithaca, X. Y., was elected to fill the 

 office of secretary, which he has so 

 creditably done since his appointment 

 by the president since the death of 

 former Secretary Youell. On a vote 

 of the society the president ap'jointed 

 a committee consisting of Wilbur A. 

 Christy of Warren, O.. and Mrs. A. H. 

 Austin of Pavinna, O.. to report reso- 

 lutions on the depth of Math^w Craw- 

 ford and forme-^ Secretary Henry H. 

 Youell. Mr, Crawford was well known 

 and beloved by all who knew him an1 

 his "Book of the Gladiolus." written in 

 collaboration with Dr. Van Fleet, is 

 the hBst text book published on the 

 gladiolus. Mr. Youell was one of the 

 charter members of the society and 

 for several vears its valued and kindlv 

 secretary. It wos the general opinion 

 that Detroit would probably be 

 selected foi* the nlace of holding the 

 next annual exhibition. 



In his opening address President 

 Kundord outlined what was in his 

 oninion the most valuable service 

 which the grower of flowers could 

 render o"r cfinntr-.- ii tbe=e distressing 

 times. (President Kunderd's address 

 will appear in full in a later issue.)
