VARIETIES OF THE AMERICAN CARNATION IQI 



White Perfection. — A fine Carnation of purest white, 

 excellent form and of nice habit, good growth and fairly 

 free flowering. A great favorite a few years ago. 



White Wonder. — In many respects like White Per- 

 fection, but making a larger plant and producing more 

 flowers, though not so good in form. 



Winsor. — A great favorite for several years. A light 

 pink of vigor, and a producer of note, especially in the 

 Spring months. Stands the warm sunny weather better 

 than most varieties. 



Yellow Prince. — The yellow^ Carnations have not at- 

 tained the size and form of many of the other colors, but 

 there is an improvement in each new one that appears. 

 Yellow Prince is a bright yellowy medium in size, and free 

 in flowering. It keeps w'ell but splits rather badly. A 

 real good yellow Carnation has yet to make its appearance. 



There are some very promising new varieties that have 

 been on exhibition at various shows. Among them are: 



Alice. — A nice soft shade of pink between Pink De- 

 light and Gloriosa, medium in size and has the reputation 

 of being very free. 



Alice Coombs. — A fine pink, of Gloriosa shade, with 

 a wonderful stem and calyx. 



Cottage Maid. — A light pink sport of Mrs. C. W. 

 Ward. 



Crystal White. — A magnificent white, of nice form 

 and very fragrant. 



Good Cheer. — A dark pink that has the appearance 

 of making a good commercial variety. 



Pink Sensation. — A light pink of great size, which 

 should be an acquisition as a fancy flower. 



There are several more apparently of merit, but it is 

 not safe to predict the future of any new variety.
