JOIN A GLADIOLUS SOCIETY 
Persons interested in the growing of gladiolus, should join a society. The benefits 
and information received are worth much more than the dues. Some of the societies 
issue regular publications such as bulletins and year books. Others conduct trial gar- 
dens and issue reports on the varieties grown. They all conduct shows. There are 
many fine societies. We can not belong to them all but we do hold membership in 
the following: Algona, Iowa State, Empire State, Eastern New York, Blue Ridge, 
Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New England Gladiolus Societies. 
GLADIOLUS SHOWS 
If you really want to get a thrill out of your glads, in addition to the pleasure 
you derive from giving your surplus blooms to others who are less fortunate, we will 
tell you how to do it. Plan to visit as many of the gladiolus shows as possible and to 
exhibit your blooms. You may win some prizes but whether you do or not you will be 
contributing to the success of the show. You will also be able to see the choicest 
varieties of gladiolus available and you will have the opportunity to meet and become 
acquainted with some of the finest people in the world, the visitors and exhibitors at 
the shows. Among the show dates which have been announced are the following: Au- 
gust 2-8, West Virginia G. S. at Grafton; August 9-10, Sioux City G. S. and Cedar 
Rapids G. 8.; August 16-17, Iowa State G. S. at Algona; August 20-21, N. E. G. S. at 
Boston; August 23-24, Pennsylvania G. S. at Johnstown. Other shows will be announced 
by the societies when dates have been fixed. 
“It will interest you to know of my success with Flora Farmer during the 1940 
season. At the Connecticut Gladiolus Society Show I was awarded first prize in the 
single spike class. A few days later at the New England Gladiolus Society Show in 
Boston, I was awarded first in both the three spike and single spike classes. A few days 
later at the Fairfield County Gladiolus Exhibition at Westport, Conn. Flora Farmer 
was again awarded first and was runner-up for the best spike in the show. I feel that 
you are to be congratulated in producing a variety that secured first prizes at the 
above three shows which are outstanding in New England. You may rest assured that 
I am planning on a substantial planting of Flora Farmer for 1941. 
In regards your seedling No. 856 which I understand you have named Pink 
Radiance, I can assure you that the few spikes I bloomed the past season were very 
outstanding and in my opinion this seedling will go high in populartiy during the 
years to come.”
