GLADIOLUS SHOWS AND SOCIETIES 
The Illinois Gladiolus Society holds an annual show the last two days of the Illinois 
State Fair. This show is sponsored by the Illinois State Fair. The State Fair offers 
$1000.00 in cash awards but the show is managed by the officers of the Illinois Society. 
All members of the Illinois Society are given free admission to the fair grounds by 
virtue of the fact that they are members in good standing in the Illinois Gladiolus 
Society. 
I believe that I am safe in saying that the Illinois Society offers the largest cash 
awards of any Gladiolus Society in the world. It is possible that we may have these 
awards increased next season. 
The show this year was a splendid success, both in the number of entries, the way 
classes were filled and in the attendance at the show. 
The object of this mention of the show is to acquaint residents of Illinois and 
neighboring states with information concerning our show so that any one interested 
may next season arrange to attend and show any spikes that may be available at the 
time. If you are interested in Gladiolus you will enjoy the show. It is your show. 
Membership in the Illinois Gladiolus Society may be secured by sending $1.00 to 
F. M. Clark, Secretary, 722 South Foley Street, Champaign, Ill. 
I herewith enclose $1.00 for membership in the Illinois Gladiolus 
Society.
