The Gladland 1950. Offerings ftre Grouped 
by Color Classification 
An explanation of codes and abbreviations used in the classification. 
EXAMPLE: 400-i Alpine (Palmer 1944) (75 days) — (L 20c) (M 2-30c) (S 3-30c) 
Code number (400) is fully explained in paragraphs immediately preceeding this 
section. The letter (i) following the code number indicates that the variety is of the 
informal (Decorative) type as contrasted with the formal (Exhibition) type which is 
shown by letter (f). Where the letter is omitted, it is either a border line variety, or 
we have been unable to identify it positively. Many exhibition varieties fail to develop 
their true type until grown from large bulbs. 
Alpine is the variety name. 
(Palmer 1944). Name of originator and year date first offered to the American 
public by a U. S. dealer or cataloger. 
(75 days). Average time required to bring into bloom, if planted from large 
bulbs when ground is warm enough to start immediate growth. This time period will 
vary markedly when grown in different soil types, and in seasons differing in rainfall 
and temperature. Medium and small size bulbs require a longer time. In planting to 
bring into bloom for a definite date, successive plantings both preceding and succeeding 
the average date are usually necessary. If number of days to bloom is omitted, this 
indicates that either we have not yet bloomed this variety from large size bulbs, or have 
failed to make field notes of this data. In general bulbs blooming in 80 days or less are 
termed early. Those requiring 80 to 100 days are termed midseason, and those blooming 
in 100 to 120 days are classified as late bloomers. 
Within the size and price brackets the initials L, M, S-and B indicates the sizes 
Large, Medium, Small and Bulblets, respectively. 
L) Large designates large bulbs 1% inches in diameter or larger. 
M) Medium designates. medium bulbs 34 to 1% inches in diameter. 
( 
( 
(S) Small designates small bulbs % to %4 inches in diameter. 
(B) Bulblets. 
(L 25c) indicates one large bulb for 25c; (M 2-30c) indicates two medium size 
bulbs will be furnished for 30c. Under no circumstances can we accept orders for a 
lesser amount than the combination shown in the price list. If a size is omitted this 
indicates we have no available bulbs this season in sizes omitted. 
BULBLETS AND BULBLET PRICES 
We are prepared to supply bulblets of every variety we list, although to save on 
printing costs these are not listed or priced except in a few instances. The basis of bulblet 
prices are 10 bulblets for the price of a large bulb. Smaller quantities are furnished 
at equivalent rate, but no bulblet order of less than 25 cents per variety can be furnished 
because of the expense of labeling and packaging. Since 75% germination of bulblets 
is exceptionally good, we do not guarantee germination, nor replace those that fail to 
germinate. We do not recommend the purchase of less than 2 or 3 bulblets of a variety.
