I recently took a trip around to see 

 how different varieties of carnations were 

 behaving with the growers here. In red, 

 Flamingo and Adonis have not proven 

 very satisfactory, but Crusader is mak- 

 ing a little better showing and the color 

 is much more desirable. With one grow- 

 er I found Crane ahead of any I have 

 seen, but most of the growers had to 

 strike it off the list, and they are pa- 

 tiently waiting for a good red. In dark 

 pink, I found Lawson better than ever 

 with some growers, nothing but bud 

 and bloom, with Nelson Fisher behav- 

 ing nicely, but I did not find 

 any grower ready to discard the former 

 for the latter. In white, Peru and 

 Queen seem to be in the lead. For profit. 

 Queen was well named, as it is ahead of 

 anything here at present. Peru will give 

 just as many or more flowers, but the 

 former is much more full and of better 

 stem. In light pink I found a few of the 

 growers growing Morning Glory, but this 

 will be its last season, as Enchantress 

 will give just as many or more flowers 

 and bring more than twice the price. 

 One grower has already averaged five to 

 the plant of that variety and still the 

 plants are a sight. H. M. 



Herewith is another dollar for the 

 Review; it is much too good a paper to 

 tirop. — John T. Temple, Davenport, la.

RED SPORT 



This new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its fourth 

 year, has the hardy constitution of General Maceo. with a stronger heavier growth, longer and stiSer 

 stem and a larger flower. Growing under the same conditinns and in the same bouse with Flamingo 

 and Estelle it has produced four times as many blooms as the former and twice as many blooms as 

 the latter. The color is as good as Estelle and the bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best. 

 Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw 

 a split one. 



Sad Sport is perfectly healthy, an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer, 

 throwing its heaviest cats around the Christmas holidays and daring the Winter months when red is 

 in demand. Bed Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will 

 prove a bonanza to the grower who does a shipping business. If the scarcity of reds in the market 

 that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to the square foot of bench than any other 

 variety of any color to date. Every florist who has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order 

 for rooted cuttings, which tells the tale. All our stock is sold up to January 25th. Orders filled iiv 

 strict rotation from that date on. Price, 12 for S1.50. V5 for (2.50. 60 for S4.(0 all poi't paid. S6.00perl00, 

 S60.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.
