10 YEAR SUMMARY 
In 1940 the NEW ENGLAND GLADIOLUS SOCIETY began 
tabulating the leading prize winners as reported in 
the reports of the larger U. 5S. and Canadian shows, 
Using their reports and others from reliable sources 
including those of the NORTH AMERICAN GLADIOLUS COUNCIL 
since its begginning, we have reasonably complete totals 
for the leading varieties for the past decade. Lack of 
space prevents more than a summary of the top winners 
being listed here, however the complete report may be_ 
had at cost, $1 if you are interested. Notes*The final — 
1949 show reports arrived just as this catalog was being 
finished making it possible to insert this Summary in * 
the space already reserved for it. 
Sizes are grouped, The number preceding the variety 
name is the color designation and the number following 
it indicates the number of first prizes won.
