THE GLADIOLUS FANCIER’S 
COLOR CLASS TABULATION OF 1941 WINNERS IN U. S. 
This tabulation of 1941 winners in U. S. includes those of major gladiolus societies only. 
We are using the 1942 MIDWEST classification which adopts the N. E. G. S. color classifi- 
cation but rejects the type-by-form idea on the ground that numberless glads vary from double 
row floret formation to staggered row or stepladder form, making them impossible to definitely 
classify by form. 
The MIDWEST group is composed of the Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan State, S. E- 
Mich., Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa Gladiolus Societies and the Mich. Horticultural Soc. 
Their 2nd annual show will be at La Porte, Ind., Aug. 15th and 16th, 1942, host, the Ind. 
State Society. The MIDWEST classification is based on size, which all of us can understand. 
Varieties are listed within their classification in the order of OUR preference, reflecting 
OUR opinion of their relative worth. The number following the variety name indicates the 
number of color class first prize and better awards (sectional champs, etc.) we have recorded 
for it. 1941 only.
