saw at the shows last summer; simply exquisite. Daintiness is a good 
grower and a runaway propagator. 
L $1.25, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 4-.25, 10-.50, 100-$3.50. 
DRESDEN (Butt ’51) 210 (E). Clear light to medium yellow, with a touch 
of deeper yellow in the throat. The frilled and ruffled 3-inch florets are well 
placed and attached to a good stem; about 6 or 7 open at once. A fine, 
clean color and a mighty nice little glad, one that all miniature fanciers 
should have. It is also said to be good for hybridizing. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 5-.25, 10-.40. 
FIFTH AVENUE (Hedgecock ’51) 252 (EM). Beautiful smooth dark red, 
almost a maroon. Can make excellent exhibition spikes with (GROreiore 
open on a graceful spike. We expect to hear of some show winnings for 
this one when more bulbs are distributed over the country. Makes up 
beautifully in arrangements, too. You will like Fifth Avenue. 
L 2-.30, M 3-.25, S 5-.25, Bulblets 10-.20, 106-$1.50. 
FIGURINE (Butt ’51) 217 (E). A very attractive little buff-yellow with 
harmonizing brownish red throat marking. Somewhat lighter in tone than 
Peter Pan, but much darker than Statuette. Opening from 7 to 9 nicely 
frilled, precisely placed florets on tall, straight stems, it is a natural for 
decorative work, and for blue ribbons, too. We note that Figurine was 
best small glad at both the Northwest Ohio and the S.E. Michigan regional 
shows, and at one of the large Wisconsin shows it was judged Reserve 
Champion and best Recent Introduction in the entire show, all 1954 
winnings. 
L .50, M .35, S .20. 
FLAIR (Fairchild 51) 391 (EM). For different and very exotic arrange- 
ments, be sure to grow Flair. We know of no more showy variety in the 
small glads, although opinions may vary as to its beauty. We like it very 
much. Light cream or flesh color with rosy blush and a very large throat 
blotch of rose purple. Florets are narrow and pointed, rather winged in 
appearance. Very novel and showy. A good grower and propagator. 
L .60, M .40, S .25, Bulblets 3-.25, 10-.65, 100-$5.00. 
FLASHLIGHT (Roberts 753) 237 (E). Bright, flashy salmon-scarlet with 
a large, clean-cut yellow center which covers most all the lower half of 
the flower except for a quarter-inch scarlet edge. Several buds show color 
when the six or seven 38-inch ruffled florets are open, which adds to its 
effectiveness. It is a good grower for a small glad, making nice bulbs and 
a fair supply of bulblets which germinate well. In last year’s Popular 
Gardening Symposium, Flashlight was rated third most popular new intro- 
duction; quite an honor for a small variety. Be sure to grow Flashlight 
this year, now that the price is so much lower. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2-.25, 10-$1.00, 100-$8.00. 
FROLIC (Bork 753) 213 (E). One of the brightest, showiest little glads in 
existence. A brilliant deep yellow with a flashing scarlet center, it reminds 
one of some rare tropical bird. It won’t open more than 8 or 4 of its small, 
winged flowers at a time, and the stem is not too long, but Frolic will be 
much sought after for its exotic beauty. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, Bulblets .25 each. 
GAILY CLAD (Hardy ’51) 211 (E). Light yellow with greenish tint, a 
nicely contrasting blotch of red brightening the center. Has a longer flower- 
head than Frolic, and one or two more florets open at a time. Different 
enough from Frolic that you will want them both. Gaily Clad is a striking 
novelty, a good grower and a fine propagator. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 4-.25, 10-.50, 50-$2.00. 
GOBLIN (Butt ’54) 142. or 242 (E). Not to be confused with a white 
seedling of the same name from another originator, the name of which has
