Announcement of Dorner's Novelties for 1918 



If you are interested in something new, of greater than 

 ordinary merit, give this more than your passing glance. 



New Carnation/'Laddie" 



Color, a warm rose salmon-pink. Flowers 

 of largest size, average three and one-half 

 inches in diameter when at proper stage to 

 cut, and which develop to four and one-half 

 inches on the plants or in water. Undoubtedly 

 the coming fancy carnation to grow. The 

 keeping qualities are beyond question far 

 ahead of any carnation yet produced, being 

 superior to PINK DELIGHT, from which as 

 a seedling it inherited this excellent quality. 

 The growth is good and clean, makes large 

 plants which quickly throw strong, stiff 

 flowering shoots. The calyx is all that can 

 be desired. An early and prolific producer.

 are long, of perfect shape and open into a very large
