It has been our aim to produce a race of glads that would be miniature in size and 
similar in form to the large flowered ones, not hooded or widely spaced on the stem. One 
group of seedlings has given us remarkable results. 
One selection, a pure yellow, has 23 
buds and opens 10-3” ruffled florets in perfect double placement. 
It shall be our desire to continue to produce for you more and better kuffled 
miniatures. 
varieties. 
Atom (Hedgecock) (366) (VE)—One 
of the most distinct plain petalled 
ones. Fine dark scarlet with distinct picotee 
edge. Spikes are slender, wiry and well 
balanced. Florets semi hooded, 5 to 6 open. 
10—1.25 
Bo-Peep (Butt) (240) (E) — Buffy 
pink, blending to creamy pink 
in throat, a beautiful color. Loved by every- 
One and in great demand by discerning 
florists. There has been a decided swing on 
the part of top florists to make up dainty 
bowls and baskets using smaller type flowers 
and Bo-Peep lends itself particularly well tc 
this type of work. On the exhibition table 
this is a great favorite because the wide 
open, ruffled florets are well placed on 
balanced spikes and 7-8 open at once. 
Likely a sell out this year due to its new 
low price. 10—2.00 
Crinklette (Butt) (224) (E) —The 
granddaddy of the ruffled 
miniatures. Quite a nice dark orange pink. 
Florets very ruffled, heavy textured and 6-7 
open. Plants of medium height and large 
bulbs produce several spikes. Great show 
glad and a good place to start if you want 
to do some hybridizing. Florist’s favorite. 
10— .75 
Dresden (Butt) (210) (E) — Most 
beautiful medium yellow, few 
faint reddish throat lines. The dainty florets 
are very ruffled, of great substance and 7-8 
open at once on slender, wiry spikes. A 
variety of great promise as it brings a new 
color to this field while preserving the small 
size. Great variety for breeding work. 195! 
introduction that fully merits its Gold Medal 
from two years in the Trial Grounds.

technically a bit oversize for a 
miniature rating Figurine gives the im- 
pression of smallness. Of all the ruffled 
miniatures so far introduced, this has the 
best type spike. It is a typical large flowered 
exhibition variety in miniature. Florets wide 
open, double rowed and 8 open, perfectly 
balanced spikes. Its attractive autumn tones 
of apricot and brown are most appealing.
