1945) B ULB CAT AL O-G 

CLASSIFICATION NOTE 
The number after the name of the variety de- 
notes the classification number as they are classi- 
fied in our gladiolus shows at the present time. 
They are classified in five sizes as follows: 
Miniature Glads _________ 100—Florets under 215” 
pao imG lad Gwe 200—215”" through 314” 
NeaitiiE Glads)---.--.-- 300—314” through 43,” 
MmareemGlads 22.2222 222 __ 400—415"” through 53,” 
Renan AGS =. 500—512” or larger 
For instance, turn to page 7, Abu Hassan, whose 
number is 378, is the first variety described. 
The 300 means it has a floret ‘ize from 314” 
through 43%,” and the 78 designates it a deep 
violet. Hence the numbers right after the name 
tell the story of the size and color of the indi- 
vidual floret as grown under field conditions from 
large bulbs.

A TESTIMONIAL ... 
(Continued from page 3) 
rosy bloom simply seem to flame out of the 
base of the basket, making graceful, artistic 
and sprightly basket arrangements a “na- 
tural” with this glad. I could not help notice 
when you were photographing a basket of 
this variety at one of the shows, that viewed 
from a distance, it looked like a basket of 
roses, the color resembling Chamouny or 
Rose O’ Day in its carrying power. When I 
somewhat facetiously suggested that you 
name it “1948 Rose” I had in mind the long 
life that 1910 Rose had as a cutflower, and 
felt that this glad might well have the same 
commercial longevity. 
“T visited a member of important glad 
gardens the past summer and can truly say 
that among the prospective 1948 offerings 
which I saw, the above from Noweta Gar- 
dens rate most favorably.’”—Name withheld
