GLADVIEW GARDENS 


CLASSIFICATION 
This year we are classifying nearly all the varieties of glads that we are listing, 
as to size, color and approximate days to bloom. The following classification chart 
is the one used by most of the major gladiolus shows. 
The number after the name of the variety 
denotes the classification number as they are 
classified in our gladiolus shows at the present 
time. They are classified in five sizes as follows: 
Miniature Gladgd............... 100—Florets under 23” 
Sina tGladsieanmenc 200—23” through 33” 
WieditinmG lad Sirs 300—31” through 4-3/8” 
ParevesG lLadSterncccesacc: 400—43” through 5-3/8” 
GianteGiladswe ste 500—53” or larger 
For example: Crinkle Cream. 
In parenthesis (Ellis) is the name of the or- 
iginator. 400 denotes large size glads. The 10 
denotes (light) yellow. Followed are the ap- 
proximate days to bloom. This is the average 
time required when large bulbs are planted— 
when the soil is warm enough to start imme- 
diate growth. This may vary in different soils, 
and in seasons when the rainfall and temper- 
ature is not normal. In some instances the 
days to bloom are not available in certain var- 
ieties. 
By using this chart you may be able to easily 
assign placement for your entries at the shows.
