good variety for small bowls and bouquets as 
the florets face up towards you. Other face 
up varieties are small and plain petalled and 
this is the first time we have had a ruffled glad 
of this type. 
L 1.00; M .60; S .40; Blbts. 4-.25 
LITTLE GOLD (212) (Fischer 1950) (Med.) 
A deep rich golden yellow—the color of a golden 
yellow California poppy. Slightly ruffled, opens 
4-5. The best real yellow miniature. 
L 2-.25; M 3-.25; S 5-.25; Blbts. pkg. .25 
MARY ANNE (240) (Klein 1952) (EM) 
A delightful little blush white with rose picotee 
border. One of the prettiest of glads and a 
florist’s delight. 
L 1.00; M .60; S .40; Blbts. 4-.25 
PETER PAN (223) (Butt ‘50) (E) 
Deep orange pink with darker throat, a fine self 
color. Perhaps the must ruffled of all the ruffled 
heavy textured miniatures originated by Butt. 
Tall stretchy spikes with 7-8 open. 
L .25; M 2-.30; S 3-.25; Blbts. 10-.25 
PIROUETTE (232) (Butt) (E) 
Deep salmon pink with bright yellow throat.

L 1.00; M .60; S .40; Blbts. 4-.25 
SKALAWAG (242) (Butt 1953) (E) 
A full sister to Bo-Peep. Dark pink with a clear 
yellow throat. Heavily ruffled. This will be 
one of the better miniatures and you will surely 
want to get a start of it. 
L 3.00; M 2.00; S 1.25; Blbts. 2-.50 
STATUETTE (212) (Butt ‘50) (E) 
Yellow with reddish throat feathers. Can top 
the miniature class at any show as it makes 
magnificient spikes with up to 9 open, perfectly 
placed and attached. Not quite as heavily ruffled 
as some of the others. 
L .25; M 2-.30; S 3-.25; Blbts. 10-.25 
THE ORCHID (260) (Early) 
Outstanding old timer of light lavender. Visitors 
at our field always fell in love with this beauty. 
It looks very much like a real orchid. 
L 2-.25; M 3-.25; S 5-.25; Blbts. pkg. .25 
TWINKLES (232) (Butt °48) (E) 
Probably the most popular miniature today. 
Heavy textured and ruffled bittersweet orange 
with a yellow throat feathered scarlet. For 
startling color it is a knockout. Now moderately 
priced. 
L .25; M 2-.30; S 3-.25; Blbts. 10-.25 
WEDGWOOD (366) (Fischer 1947) (E) 
This probably should not be listed in among the 
miniatures, but we have always felt it belonged 
here despite its slightly larger size. A truly 
beautiful lavender with a creamy yellow throat. 
Heavy substance and delightfully ruffled. 
L 2-.25; M 3-.25; S 5-.25; Blbts. pkg. .25

WHITE LACE (300) (Fischer 1951 (E) 
Another that probably should not be classed as 
a miniature, but we believe 300 class is too 
large for it under average conditions. About 
the best, most reliable, heavily ruffled, waxy 
white. A very beautiful and useful glad for 
arrangements. 
L .25; M 2-.30; S 3-.25; Blbts. 10-.25

The Gladiolus Classification System 
The number after the name of each variety in 
our general descriptive list denotes the official 
size and color classification of that variety as 
determined by a committee of the North Amer- 
ican Gladiolus Council. We list these classifica- 
tion numbers because they are helpful to cus- 
tomers in determining the exact size and color 
classification of varieties they may want to buy 
or to exhibit at glad shows conducted under the 
auspices of the N.A.G.C., where this classification 
system is used. 
Glads are classified is five sizes as follows: 
Miniature ___100—florets under 212” 
Smale 200—212” through 314” 
Mediums = 300—3%” through 43%” 
Mare eee eens 400—412” through 5%,” 
Giantess 500—514” or larger 
For instance, turn to page 8. The first variety 
described, Abu Hassan, is followed by the num- 
ber 378. The 300 means it has a floret size from 
3%” through 438”. The 78 designates this variety 
as a deep violet. Hence the numbers after the 
variety names tell the story of the size and color 
of the individual floret as grown under field con- 
ditions from large bulbs.
