Miniature or ‘‘Small’’ Glads 
We have been privileged in the past to list some of the new introductions of 
such prominent originators as Mr. Leonard Butt and C. C. Van Voorhis. The following 
two new varieties are from the garden of Mr. Van Voorhis. We have been growing 
many of Mr. Van Voorhis’ new gilads, and all have been strong, healthy varieties, 
and good propagators. Farmingdale, Sonopal and All-Blotches that were new last 
season are all very fine new things; and we can recommend them highly. New ones 
this year are described as follows: 
TINY RED: (Red Butterfly x Orange Tweedle) No. 153 Class. Early Mid Season. 
Rich ruby red with a pretty broad yellow and red throat plume tipped with a 
yellow rib dart. Lg. $1 ea. Med. 65¢ ea. Sm. 35c ea. Blbts. 10 for $1. 
PAL’S GAL: (Rose Tweedle x Little Pal) 261 Class. Mid-season. Clear rose pink 
shading lighter in the throat. Small deep rose throat plume and rib line edged 
with cream. It resembles Little Pal, but is much clearer in color. Has many 
side-spikes, useful: for arrangements. Prices, same as Tiny Red. (Units of 1 
Large 2 Mediums, 3 Small and 10 Bulblets for $3.50) from either of the above. 
THE BEST IN MINIATURE GLADS | 
From the following list of Miniature Gladiolus, we recommend the medium size 
bulb as best all-around for the average variety. Many of the large bulbs will produce 
two to four spikes, none of them being quite as fine as the single plant coming from 
a smaller size bulb. Minimum order for prepayment, $3.00. (May be’ combined with 
the larger varieties for the minimum).
