GLADIOLUS SOCIETIES 
If at all possible you should join a Gladiolus Society. There are a number of these 
in the country - local, state, and national. We especially invite you to join the Ohio 
Gladiolus Society. The cost is one dollar ($1) per year or two dollars ($2) which in¬ 
cludes affiliation with the American Gladiolus Society and a subscription to the Glad¬ 
iolus Review, a monthly publication which is very instructive. Send fee to Mrs. Carl 
Defendiefer, Secy., 3 3 Lyons Blvd., Struthers, Ohio or send it to us and we shall for¬ 
ward it. 
With each new membership sent through us we will give free five bulbs of either 
Cistena or Sunya, Mr. Gersdorff’s new miniatures. We must limit this to twenty-five 
sets to be given out, when they are gone we will include some other good varieties to 
the value of one dollar. 
THE LATCH STRING IS OUT 
We welcome visitors to our farm home. Flower and Garden Clubs are especially 
welcome. If you come in a group it would be well to let us know a day or so in ad¬ 
vance, that we may be prepared to conduct your group as soon as you arrive, other¬ 
wise there might be some delay. 
Sincerely, 
R. C. BELLARD 
JOHN K. BELLARD.

New England Gladiolus Society, Ohio Gladiolus Society, Mahoning Gladiolus Society;
