General List of Miniatures 
and Small Glads 
The list which follows is what we term the best list of 
Select Varieties to be found in any catalog. It is not 
the longest list, for there may be one or two others 
who catalog more varieties in an attempt to impress 
folks with the extensiveness of their listings of little 
glads. 
It is our contention that the best service can be ren- 
dered to our customers by careful testing and apprais- 
ing all the available varieties in our personal garden, 
screening out the unworthy ones and listing only those 
that we can honestly recommend as deserving. To this 
end we have devoted countless hours of time and a great 
deal of money by seeking out nearly extinct older vari- 
eties and acquiring all the new introductions each year. 
Perhaps not for the most, but certainly for the best, 
‘you can look to and rely on Summit Gardens when it 
comes to the best there is in Miniature and Small Type 
Glads. 
ALECIA (MacPhail ’54) — 200 E* 
A most attractive pure white absolutely devoid of 
cream; even the stamens are white. Alecia opens 
4 to 5 rounded, wide open florets in verticle place- 
ment on nice straight spikes of 15 to 17 buds. 
Any size bulb $1.00 each; 1 bulb and 10 bts. for $2.00 
ARIA (Kuhn ’48) — 242 M 
With its ability to open 7 to 9 florets on well pro- 
portioned spikes of 17 to 19 buds, Aria has gained 
a formidable show record. Certainly it is one of the 
strongest members of the tough pink class. The dain- 
ty florets have pleasing cream throats. 
L. 25e; M. 20c; S. 2-25c 
ATOM (Hedgecock ’46) — 236 E 
A fiery scarlet with white edges. An improved Kewpie 
with 4 to 5 open on 15 bud spike. Atom is a fine 
variety and a knock-out for arrangements. 
L. 2-25¢e; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢ 
BABS (Pruitt ’45) — 210 E 
A ruffled light yellow with greenish cast in bud. Four 
to 5 open. A favorite with the ladies. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢e 
BAMBI (Pierce ’54) — 290 E 
We are very proud of our 1954 introduction, Bambi, 
whose outstanding distinction is its captivating char- 
treuse color, the like of which we have in only one 
other glad, Pelletier D’Oisy, Bambi’s pollen parent. 
However, in Bambi beautiful ruffling has been add- 
ed to give it grace and appeal not found in Pelletier 
D’Oisy. The intense chartreuse of Bambi is accent- 
uated by a prominent orange-red throat mark and 
a picotee of the same color, a color combination that 
positively makes the ladies drool. When we say that 
the color of Bambi is chartreuse we mean really 
chartreuse, not cream or yellow blending to greenish 
in the throat. 
Bambi produces spikes of 14-15 buds as an average 
with an occasional spike of greater stature from large
