OUR SYMPOSIUM TABULATION 
OF RATINGS BY COLOR GROUPS 
The group above the separation star mark are Valleevue or its successor, 
Ohio State Gladiolus Society Test Garden ratings but they are listed in the order 
of our personal preference. Below the separation mark are a few which warrant 
their inclusion for comparison purposes but which were too old for Valleevue-Ohio 
society testing or in a few cases are recent varieties which have not been offered 
for testing. The latter carry our own ratings. An effort has been made to limit 
-mention to 6 or 8 per color series, so the ratings are not necessarily complete. Color, 
Exhibition and Commercial ratings. The hyphens between the ratings are meaningless 
separations. We have used no plus or minus ratings, such as ““B—”’’, etc.
