COLOR CLASS TABULATION OF 1942 WINNERS 
This tabulation of 1942 winners includes shows in central U. S. and Canada, namely 
Quebec, Empire (N. Y.), W. Va., Wellsville, Ohio (both 2-day shows), S. E. Mich., Midwest 
(includes Ind. and Mich state societies, hosts to six surrounding state societies), Towa state, 
Wisc., Minn. (Hibbing show), Winnipeg and Marion Co. (Ind.). 
We are using the 1943 MIDWEST classification which adopts the N. E. G. S. color 
classification 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. 
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 first number after variety name indicates the 
number of 1st prize awards. The second number indicates the number of special awards, 
section, division and grand champs and Awards of Merit.
