Czochralski method of crystallization allows obtaining single crystals of many intermetallic compounds. New series Gd_7Ni_xPd_{3-x} (x=2, 3) intermetallics was grown by the modified Czochralski method using a levitated melt in protective argon atmosphere. Preliminary studies of magnetic properties have shown that all crystals of the series order ferromagnetically. It was found that Gd_7Ni_2Pd shows magnetic transition to the ferromagnetic state at 225 K while Gd_7Ni_3 orders at 145 K.
