Admiration 



This Cftrnation we offer to the trade as beiDg one of the flnest CamatiODS nf any color 



that we know of np to date. Bein? a beautiful shade of pink, somewhat lighter than 



Winona, having that beautiful satin tlnit^h, always showing up well either in natural or 



artificial liffht. Plants benched in August are now coming into full crop, carrying from 



10 to 20 buds. We have been cutting f'inre September 10. As amoney makpr you will 



find no equal. The size of the flower is 3 to 8*b inches, excellert form, well built up in 



the center, with the petals so arranged as to make it stand the general requirements of a good fancy commerrial variety. A grand keeper and shipper. 



The habit is ideal, upright, with no surplus grass and every shoot going into flower. Its freedom and earliness make it nearly the ideal Carnation. 



The calyx is very tough and seldom bursts. Can be handled with great success either from the field or grown inside all summer. No one has to be an 



expert to handle this variety. It scored 86 points at the Ameiican Carnation Society meeting at Indianapolis, January 27 to 2X, 1909. 



Price, $12.00 per 100 ; $100.00 per 1000. 250 at 1000 rate
