VARIETIES ARE ALPHEBETICALLY ARRANGED IN COLOR CLASSES 
We feel that in a list as comprehensive as we offer that this would make it much 
easier for you to make your selections in that you could quickly check all varieties in 
the color classes in which you might be especially interested.. We also list the name of 
the originator and the year of introduction, and in every case where the year is earlier 
than 1940, we feel that it has merits that make it worthy of inclusion in any garden 
and in any company. 

NOTE: Our prices of very recent introductions are based on our available stock. 
Our list is published earlier than most, but in every case where the introducer later 
quotes a lower price per bulb than our fall list, the difference in price will be adjusted 
by giving. over-count or oversize. 

COLOR AND SIZE CLASSIFICATION 
By using classification numbers we can convey in the space of a single line, 
nearly all of the information usually presented in several lines of a catalog. 
For example: ‘WHITE GOLD” (506), the first figure “5” shows it is in the Giant 
class with florets larger than 5%6 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 72 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 ad- 
dition 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.
