KEY TO VARIETY LIST 
Size and color classes are indicated by the code number; the first figure indi- 
cates a size group, while the last two digits give the color class. (see color table 
above). Name of the originator, usually abbreviated, follows the variety name. Next 
follows the year the variety was first available to American purchasers, and after 
that, for many of the varieties, will be found the number of growing dayis required 
from planting to date of blooming. The number of days to bloom is usually figured 
for large bulbs; medium sized bulbs usually require from 5 to 7 days longer to bloom. 
Because of variations in climate, the number of days required for a ‘particular variety 
to bloom may vary by several days. However, the listed blooming dates will give a 
fair approximation of what to expect of a variety. 
The number following the number indicating the days to bloom, shows the rat- 
ing in color class. The highest number indicates that it is the best in its color class. 
The number following this shows the number of blooms usually open at one time 
with average culture.
