Classification 
The NAGC size and color classification is used in our descriptive list. This method of listing gives you valuable infor- 
mation which you will readily note. 
First is the name of the variety, then in parenthesis the size and color class figures. Following this is the name of the 
originator and year in which the variety was first available to American purchasers. The figures in the last parenthesis denote 
the number of growing days required from planting to date of blooming. The number of days to bloom is figured for large 
bulbs; medium bulbs usually require 5 to 7 days longer to bloom. Because of variations in climate, the number of days re- 
quired for a particular variety to bloom may vary by several days. However, the listed blooming dates will give a fair idea 
of what to expect of a variety.
