NATIONAL CONFERENCE AND THREE DAY SHORT COURSE 
é Asked in ’45 by N. E. G. S. to sponsor their 3rd annual Conference in Ohio, we instead 
called to their attention the wonderful facilities, the glad minded faculty, spacious buildings 
and test plots at Mich. State College, East Lansing, and the already established Gladiolus 
Growers 3 day short course which we had been visiting for many years and particularly the 
apparent permanency of the set-up, not to mention the Mid-America location. The rest 
you know. 
So now the fourth N. E. G. S. conference, Mich. State Glad. Soc., host, will be held 
February 20-21-22, again (and evermore we hope) at East Lansing. February 20, 5 com- 
mittee meetings. February 21, seven lectures. February 22, seven more lectures, banquet, 
color slides, open forum on new varieties (conducted by yours truly) and bulb auction. The 
14 lectures embrace the subjects of bulb and plant diseases, insecticides, fertilizer, culture, 
weed elimination, inspection, tools, trial grounds, judging. Lectures by local, state and 
federal horticulturists, entomologists, pathologists. $1.00 registration fee. No other fees. 
For hotel reservations try Hotel Olds, Lansing, Mich. 
THE OHIO ANNUAL EXHIBITION, 1947 
The 1946 exhibition has been widely proclaimed the best gladiolus show in all world 
history, not forgetting national, regional and foreign. The attendance was 13,500 and they 
will all be back again bringing many others on August 25-26, 1947 at the same wonderful 
Higbee Co. Auditorium on Cleveland’s Public Square. Innovations we take pride in having 
proposed made the second day of the show a spectacle never to be forgotten . . . most all 
blooms still fresh and with 30-50% more florescence than on opening day. Ohio society 
exhibitors grow the best and latest recent introductions and have growing and exhibiting 
skill seldom equalled anywhere. Many of them migrate to shows outside the state, about 
two a year, such as to W. Va. and Indiana, always making top-heavy impression on the major 
prize awards. Plan now to come to Cleveland and see them perform at their best on their 
home grounds. Classes wide open to all. No entry fees. No admission fee. If you can 
bring some of your own best spikes, write to us for a free Prize Schedule. 
The show situs is a ‘“Lounge’’ about 75 x 75 ft., air conditioned, a connecting “Gallery” 
about 20 x 75 ft. and an Auditorium about 85 x 110 ft. with a stage 30 ft. wide and 4 sunken 
display Loges about 30 x 10 ft. each. 
In the Lounge, under the able supervision of Mrs. Stella Antisdale, 51 Garden Clubs 
staged 255 wonderful gladiolus-predominating arrangements, 181 of them competitive, the 
like of which has never been achieved by any other gladiolus show, anytime, anywhere. Open 
table frontage in this Lounge was over 250 ft. 
In the main Auditorium, competitive class open table frontage was 800 ft. of which 
720 ft. was of the double decker type permitting to advantage on two levels more entries per 
lineal ft. than on flat tables.
