MINIATURES 
7 By KOERNER 
These are the smallest gladiolus grown 
and in a class by themselves. They run 
mostly from one to two inches in diameter. 
Or sometimes more. Very dainty and suit- 
able for table decorations, bridal bouquets 
and other small arrangements. 
The demand for this type of gladiolus is 
increasing every year. Last year I didn’t 
have near bulbs enough to fill orders. But 
have a larger stock this year though I may 
run short before the season is out. Have 
added one variety by Kunderd which is 
very nice. Also one by Vasaturo and a new 
species. 
Airy Fairy 
Soft pink melting to a pure white throat. 
Flowers from 34 to 1 inch in diameter and 
sometimes larger. 
Price 50 cents each 
Athena 
(Mid-season) Bright clear lavender, 
edges of petals darker which spread out 
wing like. One golden stripe down the mid- 
dle of the two lower petals. Center petal 
curled back. All petals slightly laciniated. 
In color and shape Athena resembles the 
orchid hybrid Athena. The orchid extends 
in season from October to May so the 
gladiolus Athena can be used in its place 
during the summer season. This is really a 
small decorative as it gets up to 3 inches.

Acidanthera Murieliae or Gladiolus Murieliae, small flower. This is 
a very fragrant Ethiopian species. Pure 
white with a deep chocolate blotch in the throat. Many botanists classify this as a gladiolus 
species. Can be crossed easily with gladiolus varieties. In plant, spike and growth it looks 
ike a gladiolus, a fragrance persists day and night most strongly. A late bloomer and should 
be started early. The bulbs should be stored in dry sand over the winter. This is a novelty 
that hardly anyone else in the country has. Price, 50 cents each
