New Dark Pink Carnation 



Mrs. THEODORE ROOSEVELT 



(WABD.) 



This is a seedlinff, the result of five gene- 

 rations of Dodigree crossing: the original 

 parentage helng the varieties Winter Cheer. 

 Meteor, Triumph, Bridesmaid and Mrs. Jas. 

 Dean. 



Color— A brilliant shade of deep cerise 

 pink with a carmine or scarlet tinge at the 

 center. The color is so brilliant that it is 

 taken for a scarlet under electric light. 



Size— From H to 3!^ inches. 



Form— The center is full and high, sup- 

 ported by broad guard petals of great sub- 

 stance, forming a symetrlcal flower. 



Calyx— StronfT. well formed, and the petals 

 stand well out from the calyx, thus avoiding 

 all chance of bursting. 



Stem— Strong, averaging from 18 Inches to 

 two ft. In length and holding the flower erect. 



HabU of growth is first-class in every res- 

 pect: produces strong, vigorous plants, and 

 thus far has not been affected to any extent 

 with fungus diseases of any description. 



Constitution is healthy and vigorous. It 

 la an early, free and continuous bloomer 

 under ordinary culture, the firstblooms com- 

 ing with stems of good length so tliat there 

 i» none of the objection to the short stemmed 

 flowers as is the case with the Mrs. Lawson. 

 Under exactly the same treatment It will 

 produce a third more blooms than Lawson, 

 upon the same bench space, with stems 

 averaging about six Inches longer. 



It possesses a strong, rich clove fragrance 

 and sells upon the New York market at the 

 top market prices.
