MATCHED MINIATURES ; 
Dahlias and Gladiolus—a combination of the two comes naturally to mind when cutting 
flowers for the house. And so we had our happiest inspiration—‘‘Matched Miniatures’’! 
Each pair listed match exactly in color. We had fun matching thém up, and we think 
you'll have fun growing them. Although varieties’ differ, of course; in general, the glads 
should be planted about 30 days after,the dahlias to insure bloom at the same time. 
For detailed descriptions, see our 1953 catalog. Prices of Matched Miniatures are post- 
paid when included in orders of $2.00 or more—otherwise please add 25c.
