Columbia 
GLADIOLUSssOGI Eis 
To grow better glads and to enjoy 
them more every glad fan should belong 
to one or more of the many gladiolus 
organizations. The following National 
and International societies offer some 
very fine publications. 
NORTH AMERICAN GLADI- 
OLUS COUNCIL. HS. Sentmam 
Membership Sec’y, 820 Ontario St., 
Havre de Grace, Maryland. Dues $2.00 
per year. Four large Bulletins. 
NEW ENGLAND GLADIOLUS 
SOCIETY (Horticultural Hall, Boston 
15, Mass.). Dues $4.00 per year. A 
large Yearbook and quarterly maga- 
zines. 
CANADIAN GLADIOLUS SO=2 
CIETY (166 Willow Road, Guelph, 
Ontario). Dues $3.00 per year. An- 
nual, 180-200 pp. 
Many State and Regional glad so- 
cieties also put out some good reading 
matter. Outstanding among those we 
have seen are the bulletins of the ORE- 
GON, ILLINOIS, MINNESOTA, EM- 
PIRE STATE, OHIO, EASTERN NEW 
YORK, GREEN MOUNTAIN, and 
NEW JERSEY societies. Perhaps the 
finest publication of any, comparing 
very favorably with the yearbooks of 
the national societies is the “GLAD 
BOOK” put out by the MAINE 
GLADIOLUS SOCIETY (Mrs. M. J. 
Walenta, Sec’y, South China, Maine). 
GEADSSOLORSSsIDES 
Dr. Philip Corliss, nationally known 
author and photographer, has what is 
probably the most complete and up-to- 
date collection of colored flower slides 
in the country. Included among these 
are several sets of gladiolus slides which 
are available on a rental basis to garden 
clubs, gladiolus societies, and individ- 
uals. For that mid-winter or spring 
meeting of your society, include a show- 
ing of some slides of new gladiolus 
varieties and seedlings. Send 10c to 
Dr. Philip Corliss, Somerton, Arizona, 
for list of available slides. 
OUR LOCATION 
Our gardens are located 3 miles west 
of Boise, or approximately 6 miles east 
of Eagle, just a block off Highway 44 
on Collister Drive. Visitors always wel- 
come. While we don’t have an exten- 
sive commercial planting, we think you 
will find some things of interest in our 
two or three acres of newer varieties 
and seedlings. Most of these are in 
bloom during the month of August.
