Dear Glad Fans: 
It is with pleasure that we send 
you our 1947 Handbook of Gladiolus 
prices and information. Many thanks 
for the fine orders of last season and 
for the expressions and compliments 
on our service and the quality of our 
bulbs. Your letters have furnished 
the inspiration needed io show us 
the way for additional features and 
services for 1947. 
Visitors are Welcome 
We especially extend our weicome 
to visitors this summer as this is 
Utah’s Centennial. 100 years ago, 
July 24th, 1847, the Mormon Pioneers 
arrived in the Great Salt Lake valley 
and settled there. Civic and Church 
leaders are planning a huge Centen- 
nial Celebration lasting from May 
30th to September 20th commemo- 
rating this great event. Then too, 
Utah, in the heart of the Rockies, is 
the central point for visitors to our 
beautiful Western National Parks and 
Monuments, namely: Zions, Bryces, 
Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Arches, 
Natural Bridges, Dinosaur, Cedar 
Breaks, Capitol Reefs, Timpanogos 
Cave and others. We hope many of 
you will be induced to travel in Utah 
this summer. One of our glad fields 
is on Highway 91 just two miles north 
of Provo on the west bank of Provo 
River and the others are near by. 
Make it a point to see them. The 
complete planting consists of over 
1300 named varieties and many seed- 
lings. They bloom during August and 
September. 
Join a Gladiolus Society 
The New England Gladiolus Society. 
is the oldest and largest Gladiolus 
Society on the Continent, has many 
departmental activities, and world- 
wide membership of over 6000. Each 
year they publish “The Gladiolus” 
containing numerous articles, many 
written especially for the Backyard 
Gardener, on gladiolus care, culture, 
selection of varieties, hybridizing, etc. 
This is a deluxe, flexible, imitation 
leather bound, illustrated book for 
your library. The society also pub- 
lishes, each year, six issues of the 
“Gladiolus Magazine’’, containing 
timely hints and all the latest about 
glads. For only $2 you get both the 
book and six issues of the magazine. 
Send to A. N. Drake, Secretary 
N.E.G.S., Horticultural Hall, Boston

Gladiolus Society groups may receive 
membership for $1.50 if they apply 
thru UGS Secretary, Miles Labrum,

Two years ago another group of 
gladiolus growers started the North 
American Gladiolus Council. Any- 
one interested in glads is urged to 
join this group. $1 sent to Thomas 
R. Manley, Secretary, 525 Coleman 
Ave., Fairmont, West Va., will bring 
you four fine quarterly bulletins 
brimming with the finest gladiolus 
information.
