Join a Gladiolus Society 
If a real glad fan you should by all means join one of the large gladiolus societies. 
NORTH AMERICAN GLADIOLUS COUNCIL 
This organization was just founded a few years ago but is very vigorous and growing by leaps and 
bounds. They publish four magazines a year which are the largest and some say the best gladiolus 
publications put out by anyone. Don’t pass up joining the Council. They usually sponsor a large show in 
the summer time and have a very interesting convention in the winter. Membership is $2.00 a year. 
Send in your check or money order to—A\lfons Bazdorf, Lincoln Park, N. J., the Membership Secretary. 
The magazine is running 100 large pages and over per issue. The December 1950 issue had 138 pages. 
The Council also operates the North American Gladiolus Registry which cooperates with the Registry 
of Foreign Countries and others.
