August, 1920 
Annual Gladiolus Show 
of the 
American Gladiolus Society, The Massachusetts Gladiolus Society, The Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
T HE eleventh annual exhibition of 
the American Gladiolus Society 
will be held coincident with the 
first annual exhibition of the 
Massachusetts Gladiolus Society and 
the regular annual Gladiolus exhibition 
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 
ciety. 
We are pleased to be able to present 
herewith prize schedules of all three 
organizations which we believe to be 
complete. The schedule of the Massa- 
chusetts Gladiolus Society has already 
been issued by Robert R. Walker, Secre- 
tary, Mansfield, Mass., and this con- 
tains the Gladiolus prize offers of the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
The prize list of the American Gladiolus 
Society has not at this writing been 
issued, but copies can doubtless be had 
by the time the August issue of The 
Flower Grower is in the hands of our 
subscribers by addressing Prof. A. C. 
Beal, Secretary, Ithaca, N. Y. 
Announcement of the time and place 
of the annual meeting of the American 
Gladiolus Society will be made later, 
but it will doubtless be held in Horti- 
cultural Hall. This is also probably 
true of the annual meeting of the Massa- 
chusetts Gladiolus Society.
