Haw We Listed Them... 
For ten years | read Gladiolus catalogs, including 
my own, and wondered how anyone could ever 
make a choice of variety or color, out of an alpha- 
betical listing of several hundred varieties. The 
method of listing perfected (introduced for the first 
time last year) lists varieties first by color then by 
size of bloom. However, an Alphabetical Index is 
also included below.
