Often during a mild January or February this little flower blooms with
its butter-yellow cup on a stem only four inches above the ground. The
finely-cut leaves form a collar below the blooms.
‘Cuinia’--Slightly later and faintly fragrant.
_hyemalis_--Long-stemmed ferny leaves with clear yellow
flowers. The variety cilicica has deeper-colored flowers and
brownish leaves.
‘Tubergeni’--A hybrid with larger golden flowers.
CARE. Soil woodsy, not too acid. (Plant is dormant in summer.)
PROPAGATION. Division of roots.
SPECIAL USES. Rock gardens, pockets atop walls, forcing.
=Galanthus nivalis= _Amaryllidaceae_ Snowdrop
An early-flowering plant that often has blooms sticking up through
March snow. The narrow leaves form a base for six-inch stems with
fragrant white bell-shaped flowers.
Several varieties are available: flore-pleno, double; maximus, larger
and less frail-looking flowers; viride-apice, white petals tipped with
green.
CARE. Soil heavy, moist, and cool. Considerable shade, but only opens
fully in the sun. Top-dress with manure in the fall. Hardy.
PROPAGATION. In fall plant bulbs three to four inches deep, near
deciduous trees or shrubs. Most effective in groups. Spreads by
self-seeding.
SPECIAL USES. Forcing, rock and wild gardens.
=Gladiolus= _Iridaceae_
In a small woodland garden only the miniature gladiolus is suitable;
they are little fellows two and a half inches in height or less. A
number of these small ones are available. Named varieties are:
‘Glee,’ ‘Gnome,’ ‘Impresario,’ ‘Little Egypt,’ ‘Little Fawn,’ ‘Little
Red Star,’ ‘Little Spice,’ ‘Periwinkle,’ ‘Pinkie Dots,’ ‘Pint Size,’
‘Whirlybird,’ ‘Red Button,’ ‘Red Dot,’ ‘Red Tweedle,’ ‘Tom Thumb,’ ‘Wee
Red.’ As a point of information, the term “small” applies to plants
from two and a half to three and a half inches high.
CARE. Good garden soil. If manure is to be used, it should be applied
the year previous and worked into the soil; it should not come into
contact with the corms. Drainage. Sun.
PROPAGATION. Plant corms or bulbs.
SPECIAL USES. Rock gardens, beds.
=Hyacinthus= _Liliaceae_ Hyacinth
The large formal hyacinths of the regular garden have a number of
relatives that are small, delicate, and graceful, including two midget
species:
_amethystinus_--Early-flowering Spanish species with
typically flat leaves and nodding blue bell flowers on spikes
seldom over five inches. There is also a white variety, albus.
_ciliatus (azureus)_--Slightly smaller with stiff
three-inch spikes, blue-green leaves often hairy on the edges,
and blue flowers. The variety albus is white.
CARE. Rich fertile soil. Drainage. Mulch if no leaves fall on plants.
Sun.
PROPAGATION. Division, seeds.
SPECIAL USES. Forcing, rock gardens.
=Leucojum= _Amaryllidaceae_ Snowflake
The long leaves are about a half-inch wide and in a basal circle from
which the stems stretch up to hold nodding bell flowers marked on the
edge with bright-green dots.
_aestivum_--summer snowflake--Flowers in May. About nine
inches tall, it may be a little large for really small gardens.
_vernum_--spring snowflake--One fragrant bell flower to
each six-inch stem, in April.
CARE. Soil rich and sandy, drainage, protect from hot sun.
PROPAGATION. Detach bulblets after leaves wither. Self-seeds. Increases
rather fast. Plant bulblets three to four inches deep.
SPECIAL USES. Rock gardens.
=Muscari= _Liliaceae_ Grape Hyacinth
These slim-leaved plants come in a wide variety with a selection of
flowering times from early March through May and have clusters of
flowers that look bright and grape-like or soft and plumy.
_armeniacum_--Violet-blue flowers on six-inch stems.
The variety cantab blooms in mid-spring, clear blue and
sweet-scented. ‘Early Giant’ is larger and earlier. True blue.
_botryoides album_--Heavenly white and fragrant. The most
compact and suitable for smaller gardens, or forcing.
_comosum monstrosum (plumosum)_--feather or tassel
hyacinth--Lavender feather dusters in late May.
_moschatum flavum_--Out-of-the-ordinary purple flowers
turning to yellowish in March and April. One of the smaller
species.
_pacemosum_--Fragrant, deep-blue flowers on eight-inch
stems.
_parodoxum_--Flowers of blue so dark they’re nearly black.
_tubergianum_--A newly introduced species, with the top
flowers turning lighter, and the lower ones darker. (Mid-April.)
CARE. Soil deep, rich, and sandy. Drainage. Sun or light shade.
PROPAGATION. Offsets, seeds.
SPECIAL USES. Forcing, rock gardens.
=Narcissus= _Amaryllidaceae_ Daffodil
It is very unlikely that the average gardener realizes how many
varieties in the narcissus world are under six inches in height
at maturity. One catalogue lists over two hundred names of little
varieties for little gardens. Obviously, only a few can be mentioned
here.
_bulbocodium_--hoop-skirt daffodil--The “trumpet” is drawn
in a bit at the mouth, making it more like a balloon than a
trumpet. Six smallish petals twist and turn shyly behind. All
varieties are under six inches tall. Among the smallest are
three-inch, scented, white-flowering monophyllus (for forcing
only); obesus, with a fat yellow trumpet; tunifolium, smaller,
brighter, and later than the species; and scented vulgaris
nivalis, the smallest of all at two to three inches and very
early. The variety conspicuus is the easiest to grow and about
four inches tall.
_cyclamineus_--The nodding trumpets are long and slim, the
petals fold straight back around the stem, giving a feeling
of motion. The species is all yellow and about four inches
high. Among the smallest hybrids are ‘Milky-White,’ ‘Yindee,’
‘Minicycla,’ deep yellow ‘Jetage,’ and ‘Flute.’
_jonquilla_--Like the familiar jonquils, these are usually
scented and have small, flattish cups with a neat ruff of flat
petals around the neck. The variety atlanticus is pure white and
four inches high; the variety juncifolius is three inches high
and has several scented yellow flowers per stem. ‘Peachblossom’
is similar and one inch taller.
_tazetta_--Similar to jonquils, but the cups are even
smaller and flatter. They are mostly early flowering and have
several blooms to a stem. The species is twelve inches tall, but
the variety lacticolor (canaliculatas) is only four inches, with
yellow cup and white petals that flare back. ‘Halenzy’ combines
pale yellow and white. ‘Shrew’ is the tiniest.
_triandrus_--angel’s tears--Several drooping flowers per
stem, the center cup-shaped, the petals turned back and twisted
rather like a tiny fuchsia flower. Among the varieties, albus is
all white, and three to four inches high; concolor is all gold;
‘Frosty Morn’ is white; ‘Poppet’ has yellow petals and a white
cap.
_trumpet_--Miniature replicas of the familiar larger types,
the flaring trumpet standing out from a collar of six petals. In
some types the petals are flat, in others wavy or twisted. Among
these, asturiensis (minimus) is the smallest of all daffodils;
minar (nanus) is slightly larger, two to three inches tall; ‘Wee
Bee’ is lemon yellow and five inches tall. ‘Little Beauty’ has
two shades of yellow; ‘Sneezy’ is all yellow, and four inches
high.
CARE. Average soil (acid or alkaline), not too heavy, not too light.
Drainage. Fertilize little and use only bone meal. Mulch with stone
chips to prevent flowers being spattered with mud during rain.
PROPAGATION. Bulbs. Plant in August if possible. Plant in groups
because of small size. Allow space for increase. Plant smallest bulbs
one and a half inches deep; large bulbs, the depth of bulb itself.
Don’t disturb unless crowded.
SPECIAL USES. Forcing, rock gardens, containers.
=Oxalis= _Oxalidaceae_
Bulbous or tuberous shamrock-leaved perennials with five-petaled,
buttercup-shaped flowers that close in the dark, most of them much
hardier than realized and all suitable for indoor or greenhouse
planting.
_adenophylla_--Blue-green leaflets, clusters of pink
flowers with deeper pink veins (May and June). Three inches
tall. Hardy.
_enneaphylla_--Tuberous-rooted perennial with gray-green
leaves and large white-purple veined flowers; two inches. Spring
bloomer.
_lasiandra_--More fragile species, bulbous with tight
clusters of deep-rose flowers. Dig and store in fall, or provide
protection. Sun.
_rubra (crassipes)_--Not bulbous but with thickened roots.
Pink flowers in clusters above the leaves.
_variabilis rubra_--Dense mats of fresh green leaves under
deep-pink flowers, some two inches across. Hardy as rubra.
CARE. Average soil. Dig and store bulbs of some species.
PROPAGATION. Division of roots, bulbs.
SPECIAL USES. House plants, rock planting, containers.
=Sternbergia lutea= _Amaryllidaceae_ Winter Daffodil
Popularly called a daffodil and compared to a crocus, but these small
amaryllids beat both of those plants for durability and distinction.
They have up-facing butter-yellow flowers like squat, flaring, two-inch
vases. They bloom in mid-September with the flowers lasting some weeks.
The narrow leathery leaves often last through the winter but die back
by spring. Fragrant.
CARE. Heavy soil, barely acid. Dry, drainage. Sun.
PROPAGATION. Bulbs.
SPECIAL USES. Forcing, rock gardens.
=Tulipa= _Liliaceae_ Tulip
These are typical tulips with flowers that are up-facing bells or
saucers, but are varied in shape, colors, and markings of the petals.
They keep tightly closed after dark and on dark days but open wide in
the sun. The foliage may be wide or grassy, clean green or mottled.
Included here are only the smallest available species.
_batalini_--Twisted, narrow leaves and soft creamy-yellow
flowers (in April).
_biflora_--Only two or three slim, tapered leaves around a
four-inch flower stem bearing from one to three long, striped
buds which open to flat, white, star-shaped flowers with golden
centers. Often blooms in March. Variety turkestanica has wider
leaves and up to ten flowers per stem.
_dasystemon (tarda)_--Polished blue-green leaves fan out
flat under three-inch stems with bouquets (three to five) of
yellow-centered white flowers. Some have pointed petals striped
lengthwise with green on the outside. (Mid-April.)
_eichleri_--Typically broad leaves, stems six to eight
inches, fiery-red flowers with gold and blue-black centers and
gold stripes outside.
_kaufmanniana_--water-lily tulip--The leaves are very
broad, short, and sharply pointed; the stems are sturdy and five
inches long. The flowers are very large, creamy yellow marked
with carmine (in April). There are many named varieties with
flowers in shades and combinations of gold, scarlet, cream, and
even salmon pink.
_kolpakowskiana_--Long, blue-green leaves waved on the
edges, yellow flowers blotched with brick red on the outside (in
April).
_linifolia_--Narrow, wavy leaves and six-inch stems topped
with satiny scarlet flowers, marked with blue-black at the heart
(in April).
_patens (persica)_--Slim, arching leaves, stems with one to
three flowers, yellow, darker outside, fragrant (in May).
_puchella_--Early, even before the daffodils. Slim leaves.
Flowers an odd shade of lavender and tinged red. Slightly larger.
_stellata chrysantha_ (originally considered a species,
chrysantha)--Curved-down blue-green leaves, six-inch stems;
cherry-flushed yellow flowers opening to flat stars (in April).
EPILOGUE
There is a touch of sadness to any book that is published posthumously.
It means that an author who has devoted years to acquiring a skill with
words and their ways, one who has something to say, will write no more.
This book, _All About Miniature Plants and Gardens, Indoors and
Out_, is the work of Bernice Gaines Brilmayer. It was written in the
last months of her life and was practically completed except for the
mechanics of preparing it for publication. Although she didn’t realize
the seriousness of her illness, she asked me to do the final work on
the manuscript.
Her dedication, “For my family, again and again. The future is coming
closer,” is typical of the magnificent woman she was. She lived for
the days when we would be free of the commercial world, when we could
write, dream, plant, and write. It was to be for, and with, the family
she loved so well. I’ve never heard the philosophy of her existence
expressed so well as by an old fishing friend, Captain Bill Stiles of
Stone Harbor, New Jersey. Captain Bill, of the _Skipper_, is not
one who professes to write phrases and words, but he does know people.
On the long ride out to the fishing grounds off the Jersey coast Bill
used to observe her. When the anchor was down, Bill would give the
order to “drop lines, Folks.” He noted that she was always the last to
get her line in the water. Her family came first and she waited until
they were set.
If ever I do a biography of Bernice, the title will be “The Last to Get
Her Line Down.”
The family to which she dedicated her books, has a dedication to her:
TO BERNICE--A GALLANT WOMAN
1913–1962
IN LOVING MEMORY
THE FAMILY YOU LOVED SO MUCH

WHERE TO BUY MINIATURE
PLANTS AND SUPPLIES
Nothing is as frustrating to a gardener as to hear or read glowing
descriptions of plants that appeal to him and then be unable
to find them in catalogues or elsewhere. For the unusual and
out-of-the-ordinary plants the answer is quite often a mail-order
supplier. For some general types such as water lilies and woodland or
rockery plants, the most fruitful source is the specialist, who quite
naturally has the widest selection and the greatest knowledge of the
plants he grows the most. We have increased our collection of miniature
plants by mail order from many (but not all) of the following. While I
have not bought from all of them, enough of my friends and colleagues
have so that I am rather familiar with all. In writing for catalogues
of any sort, remember they are expensive to produce and often you are
asked to pay a nominal fee for them. I usually get so much information
I am happy to pay a few cents. You can often save time and trouble by
asking if there is such a fee.
