CLASSIFICATION 
In our alphabetical listing of varieties, the number following the 
variety and originator’s name refers to size and color classification. Tak- 
ing for example the variety RED WING (Wright-Graff) 536 (M), the 
variety name is followed by the name of the originator and the intro- 
ducer. The number 536 denotes that Red Wing is of giant size (5), and 
that its color is scarlet (36), as explained in the table below. The letter 
(M) informs us that it is a Midseason bloomer. (Abbreviations used are: 
VE for very early; E, early; EM, early midseason; M, Midseason; ML, 
midseason late; and L, late). Planted in May, large bulbs of early 
varieties usually bloom in about 60-75 days, early-midseason glads about 
75-85 days, midseason varieties about 85-95 days, midseason-late kinds 
approximately 95-105 days; those blooming after this being late varieties. 
However soil and weather conditions have a great deal of effect on the 
blooming time of gladiolus. 
SIZE CLASSES: Miniature (100 series), florets smaller than 2% inches.
