the equator (longitude) and these colors then lightening toward one pole and darkening to- 
ward the other (latitude).) We not only arranged the color classes logically but arranged the 
varieties in their proper sequence within each color class. Thus in the purple class, for in- 
stance, the darkest purple, King Lear, is placed at the top; the next darkest, Lancaster, 
second, and so on down the line until we come to the lightest, Margaret Wood, which is 
placed at the bottom of its class and closest to Parthiena, the darkest variety in the next 
lighter color class in that color range, i.e., the lavender-purple class. 
We made some interesting discoveries, some expected and some unexpected: certain 
varieties do not belong in the color classes where they are officially placed at all. Orange 
Prince is not an orange but a scarlet. Daisy Mae is not an orange but a salmon—the 
deepest of the salmons and just a trifle smoky but not enough so to be classified as a smoky. 
Evangeline is not a rose like Chamouny at all (as officially classified) but a very pale pure 
pink. (This error in the official classification resulted from the habit of many flower lovers, 
especially our Canadian friends, of using rose as if it were a synonym for pink. Actually 
rose is a cool shade of pink, just as salmon is a warm shade of pink. A glad cannot be a 
“salmon-rose”, as one often hears such a variety as Spic and Span described, because it 
cannot be both a warm pink and a cool pink at the same time. It must be either a salmon 
pink (warm) or a rose pink (cool), or, if neither warm nor cool, a pure pink. Some var- 
ieties like Noweta Rose and Rose O’Day are a lavender-rose shade—cooler than Chamouny, 
yet hardly to be classed with the lavender-purples. Hence we left them in the rose class. 
We believe this classification will be helpful to you in showing just where each variety 
stands in respect to coolness or warmness, darkness or lightness. But remember, many 
glads vary slightly in color in different soils and in different weather (some being warmer- 
toned in warm weather and cooler-toned in cool weather!). Our classification was made 
in cool September weather with blooms grown in our black corn-belt loam. 
In exhibiting glads at shows, however, one must exhibit a variety according to its 
official color classification, which we give along with our descriptions in the alphabetical 
list. See page 55 also.
