COLOR SEPARATIONS 
These are the 2nd and 3rd digits of the 3 
digit numbers. The first of these represents 
the color group. The second denotes the 
depth of color within the group. If the 
color is without conspicuous marking this 
last number will be even. If the color has 
conspicuous marking the next higher odd 
number will be used. The color valuations 
refer to the revised Fischer Color Chart 
which is further mentioned on our ‘‘Society”’ 
pages at the end of our catalog. :

COLOR CLASS TABULATION 
OF 1947 WINNERS 
‘This tabulation of 1947 winners, coupled 
with like tabulations in our Guidebooks of 
recent years and those to follow, presents the 
best bird’s eye view possible of the develop- 
ment and ebb of popularity of varieties. To 
keep this tabulation from overrunning our 
whole guidebook, we have this year eliminated 
the recording of mere first prize color class 
awards. There are plenty of pretty good 
varieties and their name is rapidly becoming 
legion. But we believe that you, as well as 
we, are searching out the best. To win ina 
color class a variety need only be the best of 
its color and size group. But to win special 
awards, the variety commonly has to com- 
pete with glads of all colors. It is thus that 
section champions, color champions (in U. S.) 
(see Color Champion Tabulation), Grand 
Champions, largest bloom, etc., are chosen. 
So this year, the first number after the 
variety name indicates the number of grand 
championships, color championships (as we 
know them in U. S.), Awards of Merit and 
First Class Certificates. These are the high- 
est honors they can get in U. S. 
The second number indicates lesser yet 
special awards not tied down to color separa- 
tions, namely Reserve Champions, Second 
Day Champions (show rules are too varied 
and erratic here to compare them with first 
day champions), Division Champions, Sec- 
tion Champions, Largest Floret, Most Open 
Florets and Longest Flowerhead. Nothing 
more. It does not include such items as 
most ruffled, most buds, most beautiful 
(seldom chosen by competent judges, but 
usually by visitors), best Canadian origina- 
tion, etc. 
As heretofore the varieties are listed within 
their classification in the order of our prefer- 
ence, reflecting our opinion of their relative 
worth. You note that this tabulation is in 
no wise restricted to the varieties we offer 
for sale. But, in most instances we have 
grown them or have seen them growing 
elsewhere or at the shows. Very few trail 
their companions for mere lack of knowledge. 
Varieties listed in bold capital letters are 
considered of the utmost outstanding quality, 
judging them by standards far more severe 
than would cause us to vote them “A”’ for 
the Canadian Symposium. Varieties listed 
in capitals not bold are additional varieties 
that would receive our “‘A”’ by minimum “A”’ 
standards in the symposium. 
The following shows are tabulated in both 
columns: Binghamton (international), Cana- 
dian (national), Chagrin Falls (Ohio), Dela- 
ware, East Liverpool (Ohio), Ill. (Chicago), 
Ill. state, Ind. state, lowa state, Keystone 
state, Md., Metropolitan (N. Y. C.), Mich. 
state, New Jersey, Minn, state, Ohio state 
(Cleveland), Ohio (Solon), Oklahoma, Pacific 
N. W., Pa. state (Greenville), Pa. (Pittsburgh) 
Sheboygan (Wis.), So. Calif., S. E. Mich., So. 
Minn., Tri State (Wellsville, Ohio), West Va., 
Winnipeg (2 shows) and Wis. state. 
The following shows are tabulated in Ist 
(grand champion) column only for lack of 
information: Conn.,E. N. Y., Grants Pass, 
Montestate, NYEsGos)) oioux. City, Utah? 
Western Mass. and Madison (Wis.) societies.
