CARNATIONS 
T HE QUESTION as to 
whether or not the Car¬ 
nation is coming back to 
its former place of popularity 
seems to be answered by the 
present demand of the trade 
for well-grown, long-keeping 
Carnations. We believe in 
the Carnation and take pride 
in growing good blooms of this 
flower from many sturdy va¬ 
rieties. We are taking cuttings 
for propagation from stock 
plants benched solely for this 
purpose. As a result, your 
orders are fdled with clean, 
strong-rooted stock, ready to 
go as soon as you receive it. 
A list of the best standard 
varieties in their respective 
groups is offered here, in addi¬ 
tion to three new Carnations 
of unusual merit. 
1934 Introductions 
JOAN MARIE 
(Plant Patent No. 3, Florex Gardens) 
We are pleased to have the opportunity of assisting the Florex Gardens in the dissemination of this 
sensational new white Carnation which was patented October 20, 1931. After a thorough three-year 
test on a commercial scale, we offer it to the trade as one of the finest white Carnations ever produced. 
Joan Marie is of unusual size, averaging, from November 1 to June 20, between 4)T and 5 inches 
across the flower. It is a pure white with large, full calyx. The flowers are borne on long, sturdy stems 
of unusual thickness, and the leaves are broad—not a grassy grower. It is easily propagated and 
resistant to stem-rot and Carnation blight. Its productiveness ranks with Pink Abundance.
