House of New Carnation Sancamo, Photosrapli Made December 3, 1000, at My Kstabllshment 



Sangamo received certificate of merit at the meeting of the American Carnation 

 Society at Indianapolis last January, scoring 85 points. It has been awarded certifi- 

 cate of merit and prizes wherever shown. Its strongest claim for popularity and con- 

 vincing consideration is its productive power, as it will produce more splendid pink 

 colored flowers than any other variety in commerce. 



New Carnation Sangamo 



(Originated by A. C. Brown) 



Color — Brilliant, glistening pink, brighter than Winona. 



Form — The flower is very symmetrical, the petals extend- 

 ing well above the calyx, showing their fine ar- 

 rangement and the splendid coloring, the center de- 

 veloping more rapidly than most varieties. Calyx 

 is strong and never bursts. 



Stem — Perfect, what we consider Ideal; extra long, strong 

 and stiff. Giving blooms on 16-inch stems in Oc- 

 tober and increases to 30 to 36 inches. At no time 

 of the year does the stem show any weakness, al- 

 ways holding the flower gracefully erect. 



Substance — The keeping qualities are one of its best 

 qualities. It also develops beautifully, after cutting, 

 when placed in a cold room. 



Pi'oductiveness — Exceedingly prolific, as new growth 

 starts before the flower Is taken, and grows rap- 

 idly, producing a fine bloom in remarkably short 

 time. It is one of the very best commercial va- 

 rieties on the market and will hold its own on the 

 exhibition table, receiving high score and medals 

 wherever shown. 



Habit — Strong, healthy and clean, with upright growth, 

 making breaks easily from the base of the plant. 

 Makes a large plant in the field quicker than any 

 other variety now In cultivation. The leaves are 

 long and hard, not subject to stem rot or other dis- 

 ease, lifts easily from the field and establishes it- 

 .self very readily. Does well with either inside or 

 outside culture. Night temperature. 48 to 50 de- 

 grees, suits it the best, although it does well If 

 grown with other varieties at a higher temperature. 

 Propagates easily. 



Prices— $ 12.00 per 100. 

 100.00 per 1000. 

 95.00 per 1000 in lota of 2500. 

 90.00 per 1000 in lota of 5000.
