GLAD SOCIETIES 
We are not publishing a list of all the Societies to which we 
belong as we would not be able to make it complete this early in the 
season. Suffice to f say, we believe that almost all of these organiz¬ 
ations are doing a good work and we try to boost them with our 
support. If you are a Glad fan or commercial grower, belong to the 
A. G. S. and your sectional and state society as well. We will be 
glad to forward your membership to any society and we wish to 
commend the following, especially: 
American Gladiolus Society. This organization is one of the 
leading floral organizations of the world and doubtless much of the 
popularity of the Gladiolus is due to its efforts. Its organ, the 
Gladiolus Review, is invaluable to those who are interested in the 
flower. Dues are $2 per year and the monthly magazine is worth 
more than that. 
New England Gladiolus Society. Although organized to serve 
New England, this society has a very large membership all over the 
world. They are offering an outstanding bargain this season in 
giving year books for 1933 and 1934, together with a valuable color 
chart, for only $1. We assume that the supply of last year’s books 
is limited so urge early application. 
British Gladiolus Society. This society publishes a fine year 
book, full of information from all over the world, and giving us 
especially the British viewpoint on the Glads of today. This organi¬ 
zation, led by two of the world’s greatest enthusiasts, is doing a 
fine work. Amateur dues are only $1.00; trade members, $2.00. 
Canadian Gladiolus Society. Our friends across the line are well 
organized and are publishing a quarterly comparable to the others 
mentioned. The Canadians are real flower fanciers and are doing 
especially good work in meeting the thrips situation. Dues are $2.
