MINIATURE GLADIOLUS 
The more we grow the miniature glads, the more fascinated we are 
by their slender daintiness, their gorgeous coloring, and most of all by 
their diversity of form. We never dreamed, till we began growing min- 
latures, that glad blooms could vary so much. Some smooth as silk, 
some heavily ‘frilled and ruffled; some hooded and sleepy-looking, and 
others wide open and alert. Then there are the tiny “face-ups’, resem- 
bling vertical rows of baby lilies. But loveliest of all, in our estimation, 
are those that we like to call the orchid type, with long slender petals, 
deeply cut and lacinated. No orchid could be any lovelier made into cor- 
sages. For bouquets, any of the types are charming, for their slender 
stems and dainty two-to-three-inch blooms lend themselves much more 
gracefully to arrangements than the larger elads.
