Glad Societies 
All Glad fans should be members of some of the Glad societies and thus obtain infor¬ 
mation on how to grow Glads, what are the best varieties, how to combat thrips, and get 
all the news about Glad shows, etc. Here are a few of the largest organizations: 
The American Gladiolus Society, Roscoe Huff, Secretary, Goshen, Indiana. Dues 
$2.00 annually. Publishes the Gladiolus Review magazine. 
The New England Gladiolus Society, G. Edgar Folk, Secretary, Oakdale, Mass. Pub¬ 
lishes a cloth bound 272-page yearbook, easily worth several dollars to a Glad fan. Dues 
of $1.00 pay for this book. 
The British Gladiolus Society, A. E. B. Amos, Hon. Secretary, Bergholt Road, Col¬ 
chester, England. Dues $1.30> per year. Publishes a large yearbook with a great deal of 
varied and valuable information. 
Dues may be remitted directly to the secretaries. It will be appreciated if you state 
where you saw this recommendation when sending in dues. 
Visitors 
Visitors are welcome at my planting during blooming season which usually extends 
from early July to October. Please do not come to transact business on Sundays and if 
possible to come on week days to see the flowers, I shall appreciate the courtesy. Due to 
changing the location on my planting yearly, I cannot give instructions for finding the 
gardens but inquiry may be made in Brownsville where it will be easy to get instructions 
as to finding the place.
