Winnings at the Shows 1935 
After several years of rest from the work of exhibiting we decided to show this year 
at New York and Boston and the results were far more than we had ever hoped to win. 
Among the many awards, those that gave us the greatest pleasure were: the award 
to a seedling, since named Robert Shippee, at New York for the most beautiful gladiolus 
in the show and our entry in class six at the New England Gladiolus Society Show at 
Boston which was one spike each of 15 different seedlings and won in its class, and then 
won a trophy for the most meritorious in that section and another for the most meritorious 
in entire show from Massachusetts. 
We found that the foreign varieties were able to win far more than their share of the 
awards, justifying our predictions of the past. Of course, some fine varieties did not get 
to the shows at all, not being in bloom at show time, but we are giving a list of those that 
won for us that you may draw your own conclusions of their value.
