New Carnations 



For 1921 



Edna 



Ever since Mr. Zweifel exhibited his 

 new scarlet carnation, Edna, at the Indi- 

 anapolis A. C. S. meeting in 1917, we have 

 kept our eye on it. When we learned 

 that he had sold his business, all except 

 the stock of Edna, we at once opened ne- 

 gotiations for the privilege of disseminat- 

 ing it. We had it sized up fro^ the begin- 

 ning as a commercial varie^. Its fine 

 color, rigid stem and great substance ap- 

 pealed to us and a visit at its home verified 

 Mr. Zweifel's statements regarding pro- 

 ductiveness, etc. To make doubly sure, 

 we grew spme two hundred plants here 

 during the past season and they have 

 more than verified our good opinion of 

 the variety. We are now receiving the 

 young stock and will disseminate Edna 

 next winter. A portion of the stock will 

 be grown for bloom, but most of it will be 

 kept cut back for propagating and we will 

 be able to deliver it in quantity. 



THK HARVESTER 



Maine Sunshine 



We will have growing here next season a 

 large bed of Maine Sunshine, Strout's fine new 

 yellow. This already famous variety has at- 

 tracted attention at all the principal exhibitions 

 these past two years, winning medals and 

 prizes, among which were the Dorner Memo- 



rial Medal, last January, also the Kerr Special 

 for the best keeping carnation. In the latter 

 competition it scored 90% perfect after being 

 packed up for 93 hours and on exhibition 30 

 hours. We couldn't wait another year for it, so 

 we arranged for enough stock to plant a bed 

 this coming season. 



The Harvester 



While we were doing our crossing in 1915, it 



occurred to us that if we could secure a ]\Iatch- 



less with the speed and earliness of White 



Wonder, or a White Wonder with some of 



the good qualities of Matchless, we would have 



a winner. We pollinated a number of blooms, 

 crossing the two varieties both ways, and out 

 of a large number of seedlings we have saved 

 this one as being the best. It seems to just 



about combine all the good qualities of both 

 parents. It comes into crop as early as White 

 Wonder. The color is pure white. The calyx 

 does not split. It propagates as easy as Match- 

 less and makes a fine plant in the field. The 

 Harvester should make a hit with the grower 

 who wants an easy doer, a heavy producer and 

 a good keeper. We will have ample stock to 

 deliver in large quantity. Ten per cent of next 

 season's propagation is already booked up. 



We will be glad to book your order for the above three varieties at $15.00 per 100, $120.00 per 

 1,000. Come and inspect the stock at any time. Order early for early delivery.
