NEV CARNATIONS. 



Marchioness. 



The illustration on page 16 is from 

 a photograph of a house at L. E. Mar- 

 quisee's, Syracuse, N. Y., in which he is 

 growing the new white seedling which he 

 has named Marchioness. Owing to ex- 

 tensive repairs and alterations, the house 

 was not planted till September 15 and 

 the photograph was taken December 9, 

 which will show to all good carnation 

 growers its rapid growth and free flower- 

 ing qualities. All the local florists have 

 closely watched it for several years and 

 will grow it as soon as it is disseminated. 

 The flowers are large, three and one-half 

 to four inches in diameter, high built, 

 double and highly clove-scented. It 

 likes cool treatment, 48 to 50 degrees 

 at night, which makes quite a saving in 

 the coal bill. There is not a sign of rust 

 or stem-rot in the 8,000 plants benched 

 this season. 



The local weather bureau reports on 

 ten bright days at Syracuse for three 

 months, the smallest number ever re- 

 corded. All carnation growers will un- 

 derstand the unfavorable conditions un- 

 der which Marchioness is growing. Grow- 



ers also will note the character of house 

 the variety is given. 



Sarah Hin. 



The illustration on page 17 of this 

 issue is reproduced from the photograph 

 of a bench of Carnation Sarah Hill made 

 December 22 at the establishment of the 

 B., K. & B. Ffcral Co., Eichmond, Ind. 

 It shows the character of growth and 

 the size and style of flower quite clearly. 

 The word enormous is hardly too strong 

 to apply to this variety when speaking of 

 its flower. It is certainly larger than 

 any white thus far distributed in the 

 trade, and the form is excellent. The

petals are serrated and the flower is well 

 built up in the center. It is pure white 

 and carried on long, strong stems. Mr. 

 Knopf says that with him, in the four 

 years he has grown it, it has proved much 

 more productive than White Perfection, 

 which is generally considered the best 

 fancy white carnation. 



Lawson-Enchantress. 



The illustration on page 15 of this 

 issue is from a photograph of a bench 

 of Lawson-Enchantress made at the es- 

 tablishment of the B., K. & B. Floral Co., 

 Eichmond, Ind., December 22, 1907. This 

 is not a sport of Enchantress, but a 

 seedling of that variety, with the habit 

 of Enchantress and the color of Lawson. 

 Mr. Knopf grows it in a house with En- 

 chantress, giving identical treatment, and 

 produces similar results in growth and 

 productiveness. He says the trade takes 

 to it well, because everyone is able to do 

 Enchantress profitably. 



Splendor. 



Carnation Splendor is a seedling now 

 bei^ig disseminated by Stevenson Bros., 

 Govanstown, Md. It has been given a 

 trial for four seasons and has in every 

 particular proved a grand commercial 

 variety. In color it is somewhat light- 

 er than Lawson. The flowers are finely 

 formed, averaging from three to three 

 and one-quarter inches in diameter, 

 borne on long, stiff yet graceful stems. 

 The calyx is perfectly formed, insuring 

 a non-splitting flower. It is absolutely 

 healthy, an early, free, and a continuous 

 bloomer, produces no grass and is an 

 "easy doer," taking a night tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees. Shown on page 23. 



Afterglow. 



The illustration on page 13 shows a 

 house of Carnation Afterglow that was 

 planted August 8 and photographed seven 

 weeks later. These plants were propa- 

 gated the first week in April, potted 

 in 214-inch pots May 10, and planted 

 in the field June 2. The blooms could 

 be cut with stems ten to fourteen inches 

 long at the time the photograph was 

 taken. 



President Seelye. 



On page 16 of this issue there is a 

 reproduction of a photograph of a house 

 of Carnation President Seelye, which is a 

 new white being grown by H. W. Field, 

 Northampton, Mass. It is a seedling from 

 Mrs. Lawson and Queen, now in its fourth 

 year. It is a large, well formed flower,
