ARAWANA. (A. N. Pierson, Inc., 1917.) A clear, bright crimson. Very productive and does not burst 

 the calyx. It is not an exhibition variety, but produces blooms of a good quality that keep well. See illustra- 

 tion on page 86.

 toward the base; growth is identical with its widely grown parent, Mrs. C. W. Ward, from which it is a sport.

Alice. This flesh-pink variety has perhaps been 

 more widely disseminated than any introduced in 

 many years. From California to the eastern coast, 

 Alice shows a 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 flowers 



being of better quality and fully the equal of any light 

 or flesh-pink Carnation in commerce. 



Aviator. A very intense scarlet. Flowers are of 

 medium size, well formed with a full center. One of 

 the best producing Carnations and a dependable va- 

 riety at all
