General View of the American Carnation Society's Exhibition at Boston. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Discarded it on account 

 of inferior flowers and short stems. 



Ethel Crocker. 



Patten & Co. — Discarded for other va- 

 rieties more profitable. 



N. A. Benson. — Discarded, but very 

 fine here if you can keep it from split- 

 ting. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Not profitable; have 

 discarded. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Good for sum- 

 mer. 



S. J. Eeuter. — Only good for summer. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded. 



Guardian Angel. 



Wietor Bros. — Best of its kind; al- 

 ways in crop. 



. J. A. Budlong. — Tried 100-foot bench 

 last year; common sort; dropped it. 



Mrs. Joost. 



Patten & Co. — Others more profitable; 

 discarded. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Outclassed. 



Bate Bros. — Will drop it this season. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded. 



N. A. Benson. — Too small for the pres- 

 ent-day demand. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Discarded on account 

 of stem-rot. 



Enchantress. 



Patten & Co. — Have shared the uni- 

 versally satisfactory experience with 

 this. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Seems to be the one 

 sort no one can find fault with. 



S. J. Eeuter. — This we consider our 

 finest sort; have heard it called a poor 

 keeper but find it keeps as long as any 

 sort if grown cool, 48 to 50 degrees. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Best carnation 

 introduced since Lawson; everybody 

 ought to grow it; potted stock planted 

 in bench not so liable to crop; field- 

 grown plants stand transplanting well; 

 very satisfactory carnation in every 

 way; 52 degrees at night. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Magnificent; clean, 

 free growth and bloomer; the best light 

 pink; most sought after. 



N. A. Benson. — In my opinion it 

 stands head and shoulders above every 

 other variety I ever grew. 



Wietor Bros. — Best of the light pinks. 



J. A. Budlong. — One of the best and 

 most profitable varieties. 



Bate Bros. — We all agree on this. 



Morning Glory. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Growing smaller in 

 size of flower; shall drop it next season. 



Wietor Bros. — Beautiful shade, prolific 

 bloomer and a money-maker. 



J. A. Budlong. — Good, but a little 

 slow and superseded by Enchantress. 



Estelle. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Outclassed ; 

 very fine flower if perfect, but in some 

 localities won 't do at all ; not productive 

 enough for wholesale trade. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Bright red; fairly free 

 bloomer; our standard red. 



N. A. Benson. — Good when done right, 

 hut I can't do it. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Fine color but with us 

 too short of stem for a commercial va- 

 riety. 



C. H. Roney. — Another standard that 

 we shall continue to grow. 



Wietor Bros. — Best color of all the 

 reds and a very good bloomer. 



J. A. Budlong. — Fairly good; a little 

 too single. 



Patten & Co. — Discarded. 



Red Lawsoh. 



J. A. Budlong. — Not red enough. 



Poehlmann Bros Co. — A good addi- 

 tion; best red from standpoint of pro- 

 duction; healthy, strong, very product- 

 ive of cuttings; one that will be grown 

 for some time and return you money. 



C. H. Roney. — It is doing very well; 

 will try it again another season. 



Bate Bros. — Like it very much; shall 

 plant it heavily next season. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Has done well; of 

 brighter shade here than as shown by 

 the originator; fully as bright as Crane 

 at its best; well liked. 



N. A. Benson. — Color won't do. 



Flamingo. 



S. J. Renter. — Have dropped this; not 

 free enough and crooked flowers. 



J. A. Budlong. — Excellent color and 

 stem, but not productive enough; 

 dropped it. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Too late to 

 start into bloom; fine growth and good 

 size; easily affected by heat and thrips, 

 also inclined to rubber. 



Patten & Co. — Discarded; not profit- 

 able with us. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Was disappointing last 

 season but very fine this year; have only 

 a small patch but shall increase. 



C. H. Roney. — We consider this the 

 best fancy red and shall continue to 

 grow it. 



N. A. Benson. — Apparently all right 

 in some sections. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Is doing well with us; 

 shall grow more of it next season. 



Crane. 



J. A. Budlong. — Played out. 



Patten & Co. — Discarded. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Still a good one 

 where stem-rot does not catch it; early 

 and quite productive. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded. 



C. H. Roney. — Our standard red and 

 we consider it one of the best yet com- 

 mercially. 



N. A. Benson. — Still as good as most 

 of them. 



Bate Bros. — Our last season with it. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Had to discard itton 

 account of stem-rot. ^ 



Cardinal. 



Bate Bros. — ^Better color than Red 

 Lawson, but not so free. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Stem inclined to be 

 weak; color good; moderately free. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — The best red 

 of those in general cultivation. 



Patten & Co. — Shall grow it again in 

 limited quantities, 



Wietor Bros. — A coming red, 



J. A. Budlong. — The best red, 



C. H. Roney. — A fancy that we will
