Carnations of 1935 
This engraving of Betsy portrays its unusual markings 
Betsy 
A quaint Carnation that takes us way back yonder. 
The petals are soft, silky white, exquisitely hemstitched 
with a fine needlework of crimson briar threading. The 
same strong clove fragrance pervades the flower that 
used to hang over the border pinks that grew beside the 
walk that led us to grandma’s cottage door of long ago. 
Quaint and lovely. 
Cirrus Cloud 
The colored sky effect in this new Carnation is most 
remarkable. Streamers and pennants of rose and scarlet 
lengthwise traverse the petals, strands and wisps, 
lightly film and veil the spreading petals of pearly-rose. 
Cirrus Cloud rises high above all the others of its class. 
Dancing Girl 
One of those gay, vivacious flowers that immediately 
attract the eye by its graceful poise and lively color. 
This variety carries the flowers on long, slender stems 
well above the foliage. Buff is the primary color, the 
secondary color being an extremely lively shade between 
rose and rosy scarlet. The variegations are exceedingly 
striking and attractive. 
Dazzler 
The name is descriptive of the wonderful, intense 
scarlet displayed in the beautiful, full rounded blooms 
of this exquisite variety. Perfect as to calyx and model 
of form in the open flower, with splendid stems and an 
intense spicy odor characteristic of this new strain of 
Carnations. 
Dream 
This new Carnation is a dream of beauty. The 
flower is rounded and finely formed. The wide-spread 
petals of light sulphur-yellow are deeply and delicately 
channeled. Through these channels some liquid element 
carrying a pigment of purple seems to have coursed, 
finally disappearing, leaving just enough color to stain 
and tint the flower with shadowy orchid . . . the yellow 
and orchid combining in an exquisite pastel. 
Jack Frost 
Clear, icy white. Every fringed petal glistens and 
shines in its mantle of snowy white. These flowers have 
a cool, glazed appearance. They remind one of early 
morning windows, where Jack Frost has passed in the 
night, leaving his telltale marks on the pane. Jack 
Frost is clear-cut, well formed, immaculate white Car¬ 
nation. 
Lady Simmons 
A lovely white ground variety, heavily flaked and 
penciled with carmine-crimson, with short feathers of 
the same overlying color at the margins of the petals. 
A flower of bizarre effect. 
Marble Mountain 
The serrated petals of Marble Mountain rise in sharp 
ridges, culminating in rugged flowers, high centered and 
peaked in form. The underlying shade of granite-gray 
creates just the desired background for the strange red 
color that occurs from the mingling and merging of 
ruby and garnet. Beams of light striking from certain 
angles cause the flower to sparkle and gleam, as though 
the petals were sprinkled with gem dust, and so they 
are. 
Morning 
The lovely color tones of lilac and yellow that tint the 
sky at the early hour of reveille seem to have left their 
deep reflections in lovely Morning; so cool and clean, 
so beautifully shadowed, the orchid appears as a 
gossamer web, spreading gently over the yellow butter¬ 
cup petals. When Morning blooms in your garden you 
will awaken to the beauty of a new color blending in 
Carnations. 
Navajo 
Absolutely the most striking flower in this whole 
collection of new variegated Carnations. The light, 
golden-buff petals are shot with long arrows of orange- 
scarlet and immediately bring to mind the wonderful 
contrasts of color seen in the finer Navajo rugs. Navajo 
is a perfect Carnation, a striped blanket of beauty. 
Red Feather 
Woven in nature’s loom with silken threads of gold 
and buff, the new Carnation Red Feather spreads its 
wide petals before you, displaying the warm golden 
tints that glorify the skies of Indian Summer. Having 
finished spinning the golden threads into beautiful 
petals, nature laid aside the work of the loom and with a 
few swift strokes of her brush deftly feathered the 
petals with carmine and scarlet. Red Feather is chief 
of its color.
