DESCRIPTIVE LIST 1941 
The descriptions of the varieties that follow are as accurate as I 
am able'to give. Different types of soil and different climatic conditions 
will cause many varieties to vary considerably in color and spike length. 
‘Due to the fact that it takes considerable longer for a bulb to bloom from 
the planting date here in the Puget Sound section than it does in most 
other parts of the country I do not give the days to bloom, as it would 
be inaccurate under conditions in other parts of the country. I have 
listed varieties as early, mid-season or late. Major faults in a variety 
are usually mentioned, while, in most cases, minor faults are overlooked 
if it does not detract from the beauty of the bloom. The perfect glad 
has yet to be introduced.
