Color and Size Classification 
By using classification numbers we can convey in the space limit of a single line, 
nearly all of the information usually presented in several lines of a catalog. For ex- 
ample note the first variety listed under WHITE & CREAM, “Alpine” (400). The first 
figure “4” indicates,the size of floret, at least 4%2 inches, perhaps even 5% inches across. 
The second figures “00” indicate color is white without color markings. Thus with our 
three word descriptive phrase of “Chaste ruffled white” you have a reasonably accurate 
detailed description. Another example in the same section, “WHITE GOLD” (506), 
Black-face type indicates that we grow it in quantity, the first figure “5’’ shows it is in 
the Giant class with florets larger than 5% inches across, the second figures “06” show 
it to be a cream and our four word description “Huge cream, gold throat’ conveys the 
rest of the picture as actually the florets often measure 7¥2 inches, hence the “huge,” and 
the gold throat is a distinctive feature of this most outstanding variety. The letters “i” 
or “f’” preceding the variety name indicates that the spike is informal (decorative) or 
formal (exhibition) in type. If ruffling is a pronounced feature of the flower it is so 
noted in the description, otherwise the petals are usually smooth.

NOTE: Ending odd numbers always denote conspicuous deeper markings in addition 
to normal color shade. Example, Big Top (541) is a light pink with conspicuous 
carmine throat. Even numbered varieties may have such markings, especially 
in the deeper color tones but for the most part are solid colors.
