This collection is arranged in conformity with the new classification adopted by the 
American Gladiolus Society. All varieties marked "Exhibition" are especially suit¬ 
able for exhibition purposes. Varieties marked "Decorative" produce florets meas¬ 
uring over 3'/ 2 inches in diameter. In selecting these varieties, special stress is 
laid on their value for decorative purposes. Varieties marked "Small Flowered" 
produce florets measuring less than 3 f /2 inches across. They are especially selected 
for their decorative value, for use in bowls and for table decorations. This class 
includes the type previously listed as "Primulinus." 
Varieties marked "Early" bloom from 70-80 days. Those marked "Midseason" come 
into flower in 85-95 days, while those marked "Late" take a few days longer 
to blossom.
