CRINKLETTE (Butt ’41) — 224 EB 
One of the most beautiful of all the small glads. 
A dainty spike of 12 buds, with 3 or 4 open. Clean 
orange color with pleasing throat mark. Florets 
slightly ruffled. Excellent for breeding. 
L. 2-25¢c; M. 3-25ce; S. 5-25e 
DOLORES (Vasaturo ’43) — 240 E 
Light pink with large white throat. Clean and neat. 
Three and 4 open on dainty, appealing spikes. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25¢e; S. 5-25¢ 
DON PEDRO — 217 M 
This is an Old One I was fortunate in relocating. 
It’s a striking blotched variety — red on buff — 
and consequently a valuable addition to the weak 
buff class. The well built spikes carry 4 to 5 open 
D. P. elicites favorable comment, and wins ribbons, 
wherever shown. Poor propagating habits make this 
worthy flower very rare. Act quickly if you wish 
to share a part of my small bulb stock. 
L. or M. 50¢ 
DRAGONETTE (Kaylor ’38) — 243 L 
This is a variety deserving more attention. Straight 
sturdy little spikes of 18 buds give forth with 4 and 
5 open florets that are basically pink but have ex- 
ceptionally large yellow throats. You will like this 
different variety. 
L. 25c; M. 15; S. 2-25¢ 
DRIVEN SNOW (Troyer ’51) — 200M 
This is the first inbred gladiolus offered to the 
public, a product of the inbred hybrid technique 
that has revolutionized the breeding methods of 
corn, tomatoes, and other plants. Driven Snow is 
a small facsimilie of White Christmas, being nicely 
ruffled, tall, and healthy. Six to 8 of the white 
florets open on long flowerheads in open, airy place- 
ment. Driven Snow will give our present whites 
plenty of competition. 
M. $2.00; S. $1.00 
ELDA (Vasaturo 743) — 220 M 
A pure golden yellow; not a mark on it; really neat 
and clean. Opens 4 to 6 on 16 bud spike. 
L. 20c; M. 15c; S. 10¢ 
ELF (Diener ’21) — 222 E 
An old variety that should be grown more. It’s 
very well behaved; sturdy little spikes have 4 and 
5 open. Deep salmon-orange florets have pleasing 
yellow throats. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25e 
FAIRY (Kuhn 746) — 266M 
Here is a fine little glad in a color class not too 
thickly populated. It’s delicate lavender, holding 
5 and 6 open on a well built spike of 14 to 16 buds. 
L. 2-25¢c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
FAIRY FANCY — 206 E 
One of the best in the cream class, and different, as 
petals are pointed and slightly laciniated. Four 
to 5 open and no crooks. Very prolific. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
“T have found Summit Gardens to be an excellent source 
of supply for Miniature glads. Mr. Pierce is a specialist in 
this line, and I have always found his bulbs to be excellent. 
At the Edwardsville show I was awarded 3 firsts, one second, 
and one third on miniatures. The bulbs were purchased 
from Summit Gardens.’’—H.F.S., Illinois
