Gladiolus Societies 
Anyone interested in growing gladiolus should join 
some society and receive the information they are 
constantly sending out. The New England Gladiolus 
Society is probably the largest in the world and their 
year book is full of valuable information and worth 
much more than the dues. This year they are going 
to publish the quarterly bulletins which will keep one 
posted throughout the year. All you need to do to 
join is fill out the coupon and send it to the secretary. 
There are also many fine state societies that issue bul¬ 
letins, some each month and others less often. It 
will be well worth the cost for you to join the or¬ 
ganization in your own state.
