LAVENDER PETUNIA (Marek ’52) 267 (E). One of the cutest little glads we 
have seen, with a very lovely and striking color; bright clear blue-lavender with 
pure white lip petals. It only opens four or five tiny flowers at once, and it may 
Meena crook, but we predict it will become very popular in spite of its 
aults. 
Any size bulb, $1.00. 
LITTLE GOLD (Fischer 750) 220 (EF). A fine small glad in a shade of golden- 
orange that rivals the California poppy in brilliance! It will open up to five in 
cool weather; about a couple less when it is real hot. The wiry stems have a 
rather solid, pithy core, which probably explains why they can’t seem to take 
up water fast enough on hot days to open the maximum number of florets. 
However, it does continue to open up to the very tip, and makes a stunning 
arrangement whether few or many are open at once. For a real color thrill, be 
sure to grow Little Gold. It won a sectional championship at the Heart of 
America show, and was Best small 3-spike entry at Central International. 
L 2—.30, M 3—.25, S 6—.25, Bulblets 25—.25, 100—.75. 
LITTLE SWEETHEART (Fischer ’48) 240 (EM). Another lovely small variety, 
this time in purest tones of light pink and white. It will open from six to eight 
beautifully ruffled flowers of heavy, waxy substance and texture, on spikes that 
are in keeping with floret size. A grand variety for the shows or for bouquets. 
Quite a good propagator, but heavy demand has kept stocks on the short side. 
Little Sweetheart won divisional or sectional championships at Burholme (Phila- 
delphia), Pennsylvania, Algona, Iowa, and Hibbing, Minnesota, in 1952. 
M 2—.25, S 3—.25, Bulblets 10—.25. 
PETER PAN (Butt 750) 283 (EM). One of the best of Len Butt’s strain of 
small varieties for exhibition purposes, in our opinion. We were much more 
impressed with Peter Pan last summer than previously, as it did exceptionally 
well in our garden, and we saw some wonderful spikes of it at the shows. A fairly 
deep salmon, almost a light bronze, with a darker throat which harmonizes 
nicely. It opens seven or eight florets at once; they measure close to 3% inches, 
and if especially well-grown they might go to 300-size. Peter Pan was voted 
best small Recent Introduction at the Lansing, Michigan, and Ohio shows 
last summer. 
L .50, M .35, S .20, Bulblets 10—.30. 
PIROUETTE (Butt ’52) 232 (HE). An attractive deep salmon glad, self-colored 
except for a few dots in the throat. A small variety which the florists should be 
able to use, if you are in a locality where they are interested in miniatures. 
Most florists still can’t see anything but the large varieties, however, even 
though many of their customers would appreciate table centerpieces, hospital 
bouquets, etc., made up with the smaller glads. Pirouette opens at least six 
slightly frilled florets at once on good spikes for its type. Many will like it better 
than the heavily blotched varieties. 
L $2.50, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .20, 10—$1.50. 
STATUETTE (Butt ’50) 211 (VE). One of the earliest varieties, and a dandy 
miniature that everyone should grow. It probably has the smallest florets of 
any in our list, possibly excepting Gremlin. It also holds more open at a time 
than most small glads, usually seven or eight and up to ten if opened inside. 
An ideal show variety that will surely be heard from when stock is more widely 
distributed. It was Best small 3-spike at the New Jersey State show, and best 
small single-spike at the early N.J. show. A lovely light yellow with a little 
darker stippling that is not too prominent. Good increaser. Be sure to grow 
some Statuette this year, now that it is lower in price. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 10—.30.
