The NAGC size and color classification is used in our descriptive list. 
This method of listing gives you valuable 
information 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 required 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.

For example, the classification number of Cheyenne is 536. The 500 means that its floret size is 514 inches or 
larger and the 36 indicates it is a scarlet. Hence the numbers in parenthesis listed right-after the variety name tell the 
size and‘color of the individual floret as grown from large bulbs. hrs
