sonal opinion. | think much in the way of choice 
depends on what one grows and how well the va- 
riety does for them.” Mr. Plummer adds: “While 
you only asked for 400 and 500 series, | think these 
200-300 might well be mentioned as they are be- 
coming more popular all the time.” 
Mr. Woods is secretary of the Ohio Gladiolus So- 
ciety, a very live state organization. Incidentally, 
Ohio and Pennsylvania both offer affiliation with 
the Canadian Gladiolus Society. A $2.00 bill gives 
you a year’s membership in your choice of these 
plus Canada membership (this gives you their fine 
yearbook) which latter alone is $2.00. $4.25 gives 
these memberships plus N.E.G.S. and N.A.G.C.—the 
biggest buy in up to the minute Gladiolus infor- 
mation. Glad to have you take advantage, too, 
of our subsidy for society membership, which makes 
your cost even less.

WAS THIS CATALOG SECTION OF INTEREST 
TO YOU? 
Always, when we venture into a new feature, we 
ask ourselves whether or not it will have reader in- 
terest and value. We will appreciate your opinion, 
whether favorable or unfavorable. If you do. like 
it, we will appreciate your help next season in 
making it better. This you can do by submitting 
your lists of preferred varieties. Possibly we: could 
have enough responses to make it a real symposium. 
The Canadian Society publishes in their year book 
such a symposium, but to pass this data on to our 
public, the information reaches us too late. Other 
societies as Maine and Southern California also 
publish their findings, which is one vital reason why 
you should join your state organization. To a cer- 
tain extent our catalogs go to folks who are not 
members of any organization, and it is especially 
for these beginners that we are most anxious to 
provide useful information.
