Gove Small and Miniature Varieties 
Why Grow Miniatures? 
I admit most people have to learn to like them but they are learning fast as the demand is in- 
creasing tremendously. Years ago I didn’t like them because there were no pretty ones—they had 
only small size to recommend them. But now there are many just as beautiful as the large type. 
They are ideal for arrangements and small vases where the large ones would be out of place. They 
are easy to grow and seem to be healthier as a rule than the large ones. They do well even under ad- 
verse conditions. Better try some.

From H. J. BARKER

new miniature. Me- 
dium rose with deeper rose petal edges. Holds 
5—6 wide open florets measuring 214 to 3”, in- 
formal type, on a 16 bud spike. Excellent facing, 
spacing and attachment. Stem is tall, strong and 
willowy. Has won many firsts on single spike

From JAMES LAW 
Mr. Law is specializing in breeding miniatures 
and is getting remarkable results. You will see 
more of them in the years to come. In his descrip- 
tions he has been very conservative as he wants 
no one to be disappointed in his varieties. 
Lith avery 
dainty face up. 
Clean chartreuse yellow with sharp carmine 
feather on each petal giving the impression of a 
star. 42” tall. 14’’ head with 13 buds of which it 
has 4 open and 4 in color. Makes plenty of bulb- 
lets which grow readily and often bloom. A row 
of this is very impressive. 
Any size bulb $1.00 each. 1 bulb and 10 
bulblets $3.00. 5 bulbs and 50 selected bulb- 
lets $12.50. 
Centennial Queen 
270 LM Most 
unusual and 
strikingly beautiful reddish purple with deeper 
purple blotch. Tall grower with 15 buds on a 21” 
head with 4-5 3’ blooms open and 5 in color. 
Florets are well spaced and attached. Mr. Law 
says this is the richest colored glad he ever saw. 
I gave it a 4X rating. Purple miniatures are 
mighty scarce. Prince Charming will be a note- 
worthy addition to its class. Stock very limited so 
order early. 
Any size bulb $2.00. 
Prince Charming 
Sinbad 236 E_ Brilliant scarlet with 
faint gold stripe down the center 
of each petal. 56” tall, 21’’ head, 16 buds, 5 open

Minnesota seedling meeting was scored 93. This 
was so high a score that the judges scored it 
again and still came up with 93. Excellent grower 
and propagator. 
Any size bulb $1.00. 
Waikiki 265 E Deep rose with dark 
blotch bordered with fine gold 
speckling. Unusual color that everyone gets ex- 
cited about. 38” tall with 18’ head. 17 buds with
