About the Maine Gladiolus Society
The Maine Gladiolus Society was founded in 1940 by Madeline Jones Walenta and her sister, Virginia Jones, along with several notable local gladiolus growers. Since then, the Maine Gladiolus Society has held an annual exhibition each year -- with the exception of 1943, when it suspended activity due to wartime gas rationing. Its annual yearbook, "The Glad Book," has been in publication since 1941.
