Introductions of i8gi 



Carnation, Annie Wiegand. Hill. 



An improved Grace Wilder, being quite similar in color of flower 

 and foliage, but a strong, long-stemmed grower, both early and free 

 in bloom ; not so novel in form as Lonsdale, but from its perfection 

 of growth and color, together with its great freedom of bloom, we 

 predict that it will be grown by every raiser of cut-flowers. (Dorner. )

£. G. Hill X Andalusia. Markings much like Nellie Bly, but 

 flowers very double, round and large, on stiff, long stems. 



— Cherry Lips. Hill. 



Very deep, bright pink ; broad foliage and long stems ; double and 

 free. (Dorner.) 



— Christmas. Chas. T. Starr. 



— Creole. Hill. 



About the color of rose Jean Liabaud, and showing a similar 

 heavy velvety texture ; petals slightly notched and shelled, and 

 occasionally lightly flaked carmine ; a good grower, with very long 

 stems and healthy, fine habit ; a good velvety maroon is in great de- 

 mand, especially one with strong stem, as in the present variety. 

 (Dorner.) 



— Daybreak. W. P. Simmons 6° Co. 



Large size and perfectly double, clear bright flesh tint without 

 shading.

 and color rather darker. Flowers inches or more in diameter 

 and finely fringed. Full double. 



— Edelweiss. W. R. Shelmire, Avondale, Pa. 



White sport of Chester Pride. 



— Edwin Lonsdale. Hill. 



A perfect pink carnation ; under even ordinary culture the flower 

 is three inches across ; the texture is very heavy, the petals are not 

 fringed, but somewhat of camellia form ; the color is the most ex- 

 quisite shade of light pink ; it is a very strong grower, and the flower- 

 stems can be cut 10 to 12 inches long. (Dorner.)
