SMALL AND MINIATURE 
This year for the first time we are listing the smaller varieties separately. While we have never 
specialized in the small ones, we have tried to grow those that we considered the best. In general, our 
feeling is that a small variety should have outstanding color value, wide-open, well-formed florets, and 
not have a stubby flowerhead. The varieties we have selected meet these requirements and, in our 
opinion, are among the best.
