best efforts to continue the improve- 

 ment and progress of our society. I 

 am especially grateful to the flower 

 growers, also to the florists' trade pap- 

 ers, whose relations with this society 

 have been uniformly pleasant. To the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society I 

 extend our thanks for their unremitting 

 hospitality. Finally, to the newly or- 

 ganized Massachusetts Gladiolus So- 

 ciety we cordially offer our best wishes, 

 hoping that the coming years will add 

 greatly to its prestige and prosperity. 



SECEETABY'S EEPOET. 



Going Good. 



There are now 351 names on the rolls 

 of the American Gladiolus Society. Of 

 these there were 270 paid-up members 

 in 1919-20. Some are now sending last 

 year's dues with their remittance for 

 this year. Thus it will be seen that 

 actual paid-up membership is somewhat 

 fluctuating, but as a rule few members 

 are dropped for failure to send in their 

 dues. This shows a good, live member- 

 ship and it should be our purpose to 

 increase it to a minimum of at least 

 500 members, which would enable the 

 society to extend its activities. There 

 have been inquiries concerning life 

 memberships, which this society has not 

 as yet provided. The executive com- 

 mittee should be directed to consider 

 and report upon this question. Last 



The report of A. C. Real, secretary of the 

 American Gladiolus Society, presented at the 

 annual meeting, held in Boston August 14, 1920. 



What^s the Use ? 



Hiram Stebbs is a farmer— likewise a one-time neighbor. 



One day Dad and I were riding by his place and found 

 him and his men "working like Sam Hill" repairing his 

 roadside fences. 



"What's up. Hiram?" says Dad. "Going to put some cattle 

 in your field ?" 



"Nope," says Hiram; "going to keep some out." 

 "What some ?" asked Dad. 



"Well," says Hiram, " some day someone will come along 

 with a bunch of cattle, and when they do, every pesky 

 beast of them will find our fences all mended and no place 

 for them to break into. 



"Last year two bad actors get over into my neighbor's 

 field and trampled down more alfalfa than you could draw 

 in with a tractor. 



"Reckon in business, as in farming, it's well to keep your 

 fences mended." 



All of which I forgot as a boy, but remembered again 

 last January, when we came to the conclusion that adver- 

 tising was a pretty good sort of a fence mender. 



It keeps good business IN and keeps bad business OUT.

year the society voted to eliminate the 

 initiation fee and our experience thus 

 far indicates that it was beneficial to 

 the society. 



The society was represented at the 

 recent conference, held June 15, 1920, 

 to consider Quarantine 37 and its pos- 

 sible revision. It would seem desirable 

 that this subject be discussed and some 

 action be taken by the society. 



Among those of our members taken by 

 death during last year was Maurice 

 Fuld, a charter member of our society 

 as well as one of our most active mem- 

 bers. Mr. Fuld was always interested 

 in gladioli and when possible he never 

 failed to attend and take part in our 

 meetings. His live personality and his 

 keen enthusiasm for the advancement 

 of floriculture will be greatly missed in
