Price List Explanations 
Preceding the variety names are two numbers. The first number, 
always with three digits, is a code number, and has nothing to do with 
your ordering. It describes by code the color and size of the flower. The 
first of the three digits designates the diameter of the floret. The digit “3” 
means the floret measures 314” to 4%”; a “4” means it measures from 41%” 
to 5%”; and a “5” means it measures 54%” or more. This number is useful 
to purchasers who are particular to get a certain sized floret. 
The second and third digits have to do with colors, and the following 
tabulation gives their significance: 
00 White 43 Deep Salmon with blotch 
01 White with throat blotch 50 Light Red 
06 Cream 52 Deep Red 
10 Light Yellow 54 Black Red 
12 Deep Yellow 60 Light Rose 
13 Deep Yellow with blotch 62 Deep Rose 
16 Buff 66 Lavender 
20 Light Orange 70 Purple.

24 Red Orange 80 Smoky _ 
30 Light Salmon . 82 Orange Smoky 
32 Deep Salmon 83. Salmon Smoky 
36 Scarlet 84 Pink Smoky 
40 Light Pink ~ 85 Red Smoky 
41 Light Pink with blotch 86 Lavender and/or Rose Smoky 
42 Deep Salmon 90 Any other colors; polychrome 
To illustrate—look at the variety Annamae. The name is preceded by 
the number “400”. The four means that the floret is of medium size, be- 
tween 4%” and 5%” in diameter. The double zeros (00) mean that the 
variety is white. Turn to the variety, Margaret Beaton, and the number 
preceding the name is “401”. The digit “1” at the end of the number means 
that the floret has a conspicuous throat blotch. Every odd digit at the 
end of the number means a conspicuous throat blotch. 
The second number preceding the variety names, usually with two 
digits, indicates the number of days required for the bulb to come to bloom 
counting from the date of planting. These numbers cannot be relied upon 
for the reason that soil conditions, weather, and temperature, wetness 
and drought, the condition of the bulb, and even cultivation all have a 
bearing on the time required to come to bloom. However, these numbers 
do provide a comparative basis for making selections.
