26 DEVELOPMENT OF THE CARNATION 



The veteran R. Witterstaetter was also an eminent 

 and successful raiser in his day, happily still with us, and 

 from his hands came the varieties Estelle, Afterglow, Aris- 

 tocrat, and Pres. J. A. Valentine, the latter registered as 

 recently as in 191 2. John Hartje raised and sent out the 

 fine scarlet Jubilee. These, with the addition of Dorner's 

 and Peter Fisher's later varieties, also Mr. Ward's and a 

 few others still undergoing a final test as successful com- 

 mercial varieties, bring the record abreast of the present 

 day. The two last named vie with Dorner as successful 

 cross-breeders. 



Varieties Registered to the Year 1900 

 For the sake of completing as far as possible the 

 record of the earlier varieties, with a brief description of the 

 color, and date of introduction, name of raiser, etc., we 

 append the following list of those that were introduced 

 in America, or registered with the American Carnation 

 Society up to and including the year 1900. When the 

 disseminator is other than the originator, both names are 

 given, the originator preceding. These lists appeared in 

 the annual reports of the American Carnation Society:
