Miniature and Small Varteties 
The popular trend toward miniatures is rapidly developing in leaps and bounds. There are probably several 
reasons for this but we think the most important is because miniatures are the perfect home arrangement flower. 
Miniatures are unsurpassed in making up table decorations, bridal bouquets, cascades, corsages, mantle pieces 
and other dainty arrangements where larger varieties would be out of place. 
For your convenience we are grouping these as we did last season.
