New Hardy Carnation “Improved Crimson King” 
(Excerpt from the Florists’ Review) 
“A CENTURY OF PROGRESS NOTES 
Novelty Shown 
“A number of novelties have been shown at the various exhibitions at the 
Horticultural building at A Century of Progress, Chicago, during the past few 
months. One of the recent ones was the hardy Carnation, Improved Crimson 
King. Several vases of the novelty, shown in the illustration on this page, have 
been on exhibition during the past few weeks.” 
A New Hardy Carnation that was Most Highly 
Acclaimed at the Recent Century of Progress Ex¬ 
position, Chicago, where it was displayed for 
sevei^al weeks. 
“IMPROVED 
CRIMSON KING” 
(See Illustration Opposite) 
The Truest Hardy Outdoor Carnation. A beau¬ 
tiful strain of hardy pink, which resembles most of 
all the indoor Carnation, blooming in great abun¬ 
dance all summer, flowers full double and of bril¬ 
liant crimson color. Excellent for cutting, very 
hardy and extremely fragrant. 
Particularly Desirable for Bouquets and 
Basket Work 
This new introduction is, we believe, of great 
value to the trade not only as a cut-flower but as 
well for garden show and particularly in connec¬ 
tion with rock garden planting. Rock Gardens are 
of great interest today and here is a plant that will 
surely please your clients-a spray of these hardy 
Carnations intermingled with Gypsophila Ehrlei 
and ferns is very effective. 
By wiring four or five of the smaller blooms 
together, five or six dozen of these flowers will 
make a large spray. A small outdoor planting 
furnishes enough flowers for many such pieces. 
The plants do better if flowers are all cut as they 
come into bloom.
