MINIATURES 
We are offering a fairly large selection of miniatures, enough so that 
we feel they should be classified separately. There has been a steadily 
rising interest in miniatures. A few years ago, miniatures got very little 
attention; now, their popularity has grown so much that they are crowd- 
ing the larger flowered varieties. 
Women, arrangers particularly, appreciate the miniature varieties 
much more than do we men. For corsage work, arrangements, center 
pieces, etc., they really are hard to beat. Colors are the same as found 
in the larger varieties. Some of the newer varieties, Little Sweetheart, 
Little Gold, Bo-Peep, Twinkles, Wedgewood, etc., are outstandingly 
beautiful, equal, from a color standpoint, to any of the larger glads. 
Even the face-up varieties are very interesting. Those interested in 
varieties for home use should remember that it requires a number of 
bulbs for enough bloom to be gencrally effective and except for exhibition 
purposes, they should not be purchased in too small lots. 
ARIA (Kuhn 48) 78 days 242 
An early attractive deep pink with a light cream throat. Very pretty. 
Holds up to eight open on a 20 bud spike. A little high priced but worth 
the money if you like good ones.

ATHENA (Koerner 45) 75 days 266 
Lacinated florets of a bright lavendcr, shading darker to the edges, 
with a strip of gold down the two lower petals. Excellent for corsage 
work where its butterfly shape fits in so nicely. Will fleck once in a 
while, but otherwise good. Holds about 4 open on typical miniature 
spikes.

ATOM (Hedgecock 46) 80 days 236 
Nearly everyone who sees Atom explains, “Oh - how nice” and that 
tells the story. A miniature in scarlet, the petals edged with white. Very 
distinctive - excellent for small arrangements or corsage work. Thin wiry 
stems, with four or five open, spaced fairly well apart. Medium tall stems. 
Very nice. We seems to grow it in nearer 70 days than the 80 days listed 
in the classification lists.

BABS (Pruitt 45) 68 days 210 
Still mighty hard to beat this nice light yellow. Will hold six open, 
beautifully ruffled florets with enough in color to make a nicely propor- 
tioned spike. Spike is medium tall. Buds have a greenish cast before 
opening. An excellent flower for arrangement and corsage work.
