This selection is arranged in conformity with the classification adopted by the Gladiolus Society. All varieties 
marked “Exhibition” are especially suitable for exhibition purposes. Varieties marked “Decorative” produce flor- 
ets measuring over 314 inches in diameter. In selecting these varieties, special stress is laid on their value for dec- 
orative purposes. Varieties marked “Small Flowered” produce florets measuring less than 314 inches across. They 
are especially selected for their decorative value, for use in bowls and for table decorations. This class includes the 
type previously listed as “Primulinus.” 
Varieties marked “Early” bloom in from 70-80 days. Those marked “Midseason” come into flower in 85-90 days, 
while those marked “Late” take a few days longer to bloom.
