At the 1948 annual meeting of the North American Gladiolus Council in Chicago the 
British Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart was adopted as the standard of comparison 
for placing gladiolus varieties in their proper color classes. This chart is composed of 200 
plates, each with four squares of color depicting hues, tints and shades of color most usually 
met with in garden flowers. In case of doubt as to the proper classification color number 
this chart will be used to determine the proper color class.
