From Leonard Butt of Canada 
We are very happy to be able to present these new introductions from Mr. Butt. 
He has many fine varieties to his credit and know you will be pleased with these. 
The first two are miniatures, and are the first in this class we have catalogued, 
believing that most miniatures were not distinctive enough as to form and color. 
We were awaiting something with these qualities. From our observations of these 
varieties I believe we have it. Shown at the International in Binghampton, N. Y., 
they literally “stole the show.” 
Stock of these are not large, and we recommend that you order early. First orders 
will receive the largest bulbs, but as they are early you will get good bloom 
from the smaller bulbs.
