series above 3% to4% 
series 2% through 3% 
series under 2% 
Thus’ the first digit of the 3 digit 
the National Classification Committee. 
So we brief them here because it will 
enable you to make judicious use of our 
method of cataloging varieties in 
their own color groups where the variety 
descriptions and prices may be readily 
compared. Ever since our first catalog 
in 1929 we have done so and the trend 
in this direction is increasing. 
This brief will also give you a rather 
complete understanding of any gladiolus 
show you may visit in the U. S. 
number indicates the size range of the 
floret of the gladiolus in question. 
COLOR SEPARATIONS 
These are the 2nd and 8rd digits of 
the 3 digit numbers. The first of these 
represents the color group. The second 
denotes the depth of color within the 
group. If the color is without conspicuous 
marking this last number will be even. 
If the color has conspicuous marking the 
next higher odd number will be used. The 
color variations refer to the revised 
Fischer Color Chart.
