AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. 

 The tenth annual meeting and ex- 

 hibition of the American Gladiolus So- 

 ciety will be held in the Arcadia audi- 

 torium, Detroit, Mich., during the con- 

 vention of the Society of American 

 Florists, August 19-21. It is expected 

 that there will be a large attendance, 

 as much of interest is to be presented. 

 The gladiolus is constantly growing in 

 popularity and there is no reason why 

 the society should not take in many 

 new members.
