CLASSIFICATION Instead of written descriptions I am listing my glads ac- 
cording to the North American Classification Committee as published by The North 
American Gladiolus Council, with the exception of my own two new introductions 
which I am taking the liberty to describe. In addition to the floret sizes, color 
classes, name of the originator, year of introduction and number of days to bloom 
I am also stating the number of florets usually open at one time in good condition. 
This information is not entirely complete but I believe it is a step in the right 
direction. Future tabulations may contain information as to the number of buds 
in color, length of flower head, length of entire plant, etc. Of course soil climate 
and variations in seasons may have considerable bearing on the performance of all 
plant life and with flowers we are dealing with nature’s products rather than me- 
cnanical problems}. Therefore we must consider flowers as they are and try to 
inake improvements to suit our desires through selection and breeding. This is our 
aim. We have accomplished much. Let us go forward then and try to make our 
world more beautiful with new, better and more beautiful gladiolus.
