JOIN A GLADIOLUS SOCIETY 
Anyone interested in growing Gladiolus should join a society and receive the many bene- 
fits of membership. The New England Gladiolus Society, Inc., is the largest in the world 
and is outstanding with respect to its publications. “Regular” membership, $1.00 entitles you 
to the 250 page annual. “Supplement” membership, $2.00, entitles you further to three 
40-page booklets throughout the year. 
The Maine Gladiolus Society is an affiliate of the New England Gladiolus Society and 
you may join the Maine Society as an affiliate member and for $2.15 you get all the pub- 
lications and benefits of both Societies. (See below.) The Maine Society also publishes a 
Yearbook.
