CARNATIONS 



The producing of cuttings is a distinct proposition and different from the growing of Carnations for 

 cut-blooms. In the list of varieties grown today there are many which do not produce cuttings in 

 conjunction with flowers, and which must be grown especially for the production (jf flowers. This means 

 careful selection of the stock reserved for growing cuttings, and this selection we have carefully made. 

 Our stock-houses are filled with clean, healthy, vigorous plants. They were selected cuttings from 

 flowering plants which produced perfect flowers. 



NEW VARIETIES 



MISS THEO. (Littlefield & Wyman.) Miss Theo 

 belongs in a class by itself, for it is not a large-flowered 

 variety. It makes up. however, for lack of size in 

 producing ability. After growing 4.000 plants, which 

 we have as a part of the stock of the introducers, we 

 feel free to state that Miss Theo gives promise of 

 being the most prolific Carnation we have ever grown. 

 It is bright pink in color; well formed, with petals 

 nicely serrated. In form and color it reminds us of 

 William Scott, a favorite of j-ears ago. Plants in 

 November show twelve to sixteen buds, and there is 

 a promise of more setting buds in the near future; 

 this from August planting of field-grown stock. We 

 invite you to inspect it here and at the greenhouses 

 of the introducers, for whom we are offering this 

 free-flowering variety. Doz. 100

PINK SENSATION. For a fancy show flower there is 

 nothing equal to Pink Sensation in the light pink 

 section. It is not so free-flowering, however, as the 

 smaller-flowered varieties. It is essentially a fancy 

 flower and should be grown and considered as such.

ALICE. This flesh-pink variety has perhaps been more 

 widely disseminated than any variety introduced in 

 many years. From California to the eastern coast. 

 Alice shows remarkable freedom of growth and good 

 production. It has shown, also, that it has come 

 into its own with the advent of cold weather, the

Good Cheer 



flowers being of better qualit\- anrl fully the equal of 

 any light or flesh-pink C arnation in commerce. We 

 showed a vase of Alice at Cleveland, winning second 

 and defeating well-grown Enchantress and other 

 varieties. At the end of the show one vase of Alice 

 was included in the vases considered by the judges 

 in awarding the special prize for keeping quality. 

 That speaks well for two days en route, before staging 

 at Cleveland. We have 12,000 Alice planted. We 

 have faith in it and in its future. Doz. 100

GOOD CHEER. Rose-pink in color and has nicely 

 formed flowers. We have 8,000 planted, and they 

 have been the best section in our Carnation range. 

 We selected a bench of Good Cheer to grow for 

 cuttings alone, as it makes few cuttings naturally. 

 We shall have nice, clean stock to ofter — stock that 

 will please you. Doz. 100
