varieties in shape, color and combination of colors, with as great a range 
of blooming period as possible. 
This list is arranged according to blooming, beginning about May 15th. 
In the description, “S” indicates the erect petals or standards; “F” the 
drooping petals or falls. “Inches means height of bloom.
