EXCEPTIONAL EXHIBITIONS 
Those desiring a greater variety of exhibitions should consider the following 
for, while they are not as dependable as the standard exhibitions for the average 
florist, they are very large and spectacular in appearance. When propagated in 
March, giving ample space between the plants and careful consideration in 
selecting the buds, the results should fully compensate any extra effort. 
CARRIE BEINECKE—Disseminated as an improved Majestic which would 
indicate the color was a golden bronze. Select bud after August 20. 
GOLDEN MAJESTIC—This sport from Majestic is a bright yellow in color; 
in other respects is identical with its parent. It should become very popular as 
an exhibition variety. Select bud August 20. Matures October 25. Medium dwarf 
growth.
