In the following list of varieties figures before the name of the 
variety indicate the number of years the variety has been reported 
on. After three reports they are dropped. 
The first figures following indicate the length of time to bloom in 
our garden. Later plantings naturally bloom sooner. 
The next set of figures indicate the average height attained by the 
variety, followed by head length, number of buds, number open and 
lastly size of blooms. In some instances we have given two sets of 
figures, because of variance in performance at different blooming 
time. 
You will find no figures given for number in color as this informa¬ 
tion was not on all cards used and was missed in several instances. 
Show winnings are not all listed. We try to have the variety at the 
shows, even though truly representative spikes are not available, 
if the variety normally performs well enough to be a winner.
