Carl H. Fischer (May 22, 1907 – November 23, 2005) was a floriculturalist in the United States known for creating many new varieties of gladiolus flowers.
•
St. Charles, Minnesota, the city where he lived for most of his life, holds a Gladiolus Days festival which recognizes him every August.
He holds the Ford Foundation-Harvard University Innovations in American Government Award and the Organization of American States Medal for distinguished service in the areas of humanitarian de-mining and natural disaster assistance.
In addition, the Collection brings together topical pamphlets, broadsides, and other ephemera related to issues of the day such as the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 and the 1820 adultery trial of the Queen Caroline-events which prompted responses in verse by both Shelley and Byron.
Fellows elected since that time have included Masonic notables such as Carl H. Claudy (1936), Arthur Edward Waite (1937), Ray Denslow (1945), Allen E. Roberts (1963), S. Brent Morris (1980), John Mauk Hilliard (1981), Wallace McLeod (1986), Thomas W. Jackson (1991), Norman Vincent Peale (1991), Robert G. Davis (1993), Leon Zeldis (1994) and Jay Kinney (2010).
It honors the late Carl H. Fischer, a local resident who developed many varieties of that flower.
