SMALL AND MINIATURE GLADS 
ATOM (Hedgecock ’46) 236 (E). Very pert and saucy is this rather light scarlet 
with prominent silver edging around the petals. Four or five small florets are 
airily perched on wiry stems. Really stunning in bouquet or table arrangement, 
and often wins at the shows, too. At the Western Massachusetts show it was 
Best Amateur small spike; Best small 3-spike at Coloma, Michigan; and Best 
Open 200 size variety at Lansing. 
M 2—.25, S 3—.25, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
BO-PEEP (Butt ’48) 240 (E). An attractive soft salmon pink with small creamy 
center, dotted rose pink. The nicely rounded, frilled florets are about three 
inches in diameter. It opens up to six at a time on sturdy but not too heavy 
stems, of moderate height. A good producer of jumbo bulblets which often 
make large size bulbs the first year. Bo-Peep was miniature champion at the 
Pacific International show, also best amateur 200 glad, Southern California, 
and best amateur 3-spike small variety at the Midwest Society’s show. 
M 2—.25, Bulblets 20—.25. 
CORSAGE (Knight 751) 361 (EM). Light cream, sometimes heavily splashed 
with rose. Not a solid color, and the amount of rose infusion seems to vary with 
the weather and season; at times there is so little that it is almost a clear cream 
in our climate. There is a small dark rose throat feather. The narrow, fringed 
petals, airily placed on tall, wiry stems, seem to resemble small birds or butter- 
flies on the wing. We can imagine that many novel effects could be obtained 
using this glad in arrangements and corsages. While somewhat lacking in color 
appeal, in our opinion, it is definitely one of the best of the laciniated type. 
Really a small variety in effect, even though the flaring, winged florets may 
measure 31% inches from tip to tip. 
L .60, M .40, S .25, Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
DRESDEN (Butt 751) 210 (EK). A clear medium light yellow, with a touch of 
deeper yellow in the center. Rather similar to Babs, but with a better, clearer 
color. The 38-inch frilled flowers are well placed and attached; about six open 
at once. A very fine clean color and a good little glad. One that all miniature 
fanciers should have. It is also said to be a good parent for use in breeding 
better small varieties. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00. 
FIGURINE (Butt 751) 217 (E). An attractive buff-yellow with a fairly promi- 
nent darker throat. A little lighter in color than Peter Pan, but darker than 
Marionette or Statuette. It opens up to seven smail flowers on well-proportioned 
spikes. A worthy representative of the Butt family of small varieties. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .60, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00. 
FLASHLIGHT (Roberts 53) 237 (E). See 1953 Introductions. 
GREMLIN (Butt 752) 251 (VE). A very early blooming little glad that is much 
out-of-the-ordinary. The very small, round flowers are somewhat upward-facing, 
and are colored a light-orange-pink, with a circular throat marking of red-orange 
and a little cream. A portion of the blotch appears on each of the six petals, 
giving an unusual effect, as does the strongly protruding pistil, which is much 
longer than in the average small glad. Gremlin should be tops for novel and 
artistic arrangements. 
L $2.50, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .20, 10—$1.50. 
JINGLES (Lins ’49) 230 (M). Light salmon pink with a white throat. The small 
flowers are quite heavily ruffled; many are semi-double, with seven or eight 
petals per floret. It opens s1x or more on rather short sturdy stems. A fine small 
glad for many purposes, Jingles was judged Best 3-spike entry (apparently all 
sizes competing) at Chicago; Best Amateur 3-spike small, Cedar Rapids, and 
Best Small R.I., Central International. 
M .25, S .25, Bulblets 10—.25.
