AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. 



Another society devoted to the iii- 

 terests of a special flower was ausji- 

 ciously launched at Boston May l.'7, 

 when some twenty gladiolus enthusiasts 

 met pursuant to a call sent out In- 

 Maurice Fuld, manager of W. W. Raw- 

 son & Co. 



The meeting was held at Horticul- 

 tural hall, advantage being taken (if 

 the presence of a large number df 

 trade visitors at Boston for the big 

 orchid show then in progress. There 

 being only one view as to the desiia- 

 b'lity of organization, the work Mas. 

 put through with vim. A constitution 

 and by-laws was presented and adopted. 

 The names of seventy-five charter mem- 

 bers were enrolled. The following offi- 

 cers were elected: 



President — I. S. Hendrickson, Floral 

 Park, N. Y. 



Vice-president — E. H. ('ushman, Syl- 

 vania, O. 



Treasurer — Maurice Fuld, Boston, 

 Mass. 



Corresponding secretary — L. Merton 

 Gage, Orange, Mass. 



Financial secretary — H. Youell, Syra- 

 cuse, N. Y. 



Executive committee — Arthur T. 

 Boddington, New York city; Arthur 

 Kirby, New York city; J. K. Alex- 

 ander, East Bridgewater, Mass. 



Committee on nomenclature — Arthur 

 Cowee, Berlin, N. Y.; Prof. L.. B. Jud- 

 son, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.; 

 Leonard Joerg, Floral Park, N. Y. 



Prof. George E. Stone, of Amherst, 

 who was the temporary chairman, gave 

 an interesting talk on floriculture and 

 its relation to the farm and homo. 

 Maurice Fuld, who had called the meet- 

 ing to order, later read a paper, pr<- 

 pared by H. Youell, of Syracuse, N. Y., 

 giving the history of some of the early 

 varieties of Gandavensis hybrids, which 

 was given a vote of thanks. The So- 

 ciety of American Florists tendered an 

 invitation to the American Gladiolus 

 Society to hold its first annual exhibi- 

 tion at Rochester, N. Y., in August, ii 

 connection with the annual convention 

 of the S. A. F. The invitation was ai ■ 

 cepted. 



The department of horticulture it* 

 Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., 

 through Prof. L. B. Judson, tenderel 

 the use of its trial grounds and tl;c 

 cooperation of its members in testing 

 the varieties of gladioli along the lin*^ 

 of the tests now in progress, coopera - 

 ing with the American Peony Societ 

 and the National Sweet Pea Society. 

 The offer was accepted with hearty a] 

 preciation. Among those who partic • 

 pated in the spirited discussions inci- 

 dent to the work of organization were:
