CARNATIONS 
NEW VARIETIES 
Introducing some British varieties of outstanding merit, that 
will be of outstanding merit for some years to come. This new 
blood has been sorely needed in this country for some time, 
and our guess is, that it will aid materially in bringing Carnations 
back to the position they rightfully deserve. These few are all 
we can offer this year, but we hope to be able to introduce a few 
each year that have proven the most successful in Europe. 
They are being disseminated here through Peter Beuerlein 
Sons, the American proving ground for Allwood’s of England. 
Robert Allwood. A grand scarlet of large size and excellent form, 
which experts describe as the finest Carnation ever raised. A very 
strong and quick habit of growth with erect stems and calyx that 
never bursts. Will outproduce Spectrum Supreme in the number 
of high-class flowers cut per plant. Vivid scarlet during the four 
seasons of the year and a good keeper. 
Dimity. White, variegated deep claret, more heavily toward the 
edge of petals. This is a seedling from Eldora, having the strength 
of constitution and ease of cultivation of its parent. A heavy 
producer of good keeping, high class flowers, and proves popular 
in the New York market. 
Wivelsfleld Claret Improved. Preserving all the excellent qualities 
of its parent, with a deeper toned color. The habit of growth is 
stronger, making a plant double the size of its parent, with large, 
even flowers and rigid stems. This is undoubtedly the best variety 
in the claret and purple shades. The best keeping Carnation we 
know of and a good seller on the market. 
All of above, $30.00 per 100, $350.00 per 1000 
No restrictions 
Uncle Dick (Witterstaetter). A very pleasing shade of light pink, 
extremely large, full-flowers of excellent quality and fragrance that 
seldom split, held on heavy stems. An excellent keeper and propa¬ 
gator. Produces more than any other Carnation of its size early 
and continuously. 
$12.50 per 100, #100.00 per 1000 
No propagating restrictions 
Improved White Matchless (Paul F. Brigham). A sport from dark 
Pink Matchless, habit of growth like Matchless, but slightly 
heavier and decidedly healthier. The flowers are pure white and 
have not shown pink even through napthalene fumigation. Flowers 
have more petals than pink Matchless and a high, solid center 
which holds together in a fully developed bloom. It has an extreme¬ 
ly strong, spicy odor. Out of three times shown—brought— 
First prize at the Spring Show of Mass. Hort. Society in Boston, 
1934. 
Second prize at the American Carnation Society at Indianapolis, 
1934. 
And—Award of Merit, at Worcester, Mass. 
$9.00 per 100, $75.00 per 1000 
No restrictions 
Rose Charm (Baur-Steinkamp & Co.). Rose Charm will assume 
the same position as to color among pink Carnations as does 
Briarcliff among the Roses. The bloom is of large size, of good form 
and fine texture. It propagates easily, makes a fine plant in the 
field and transplants readily. It comes into bloom quickly after 
benching, with good blooms on long stems. Rose Charm qualified 
for the Dorner Memorial Gold Medal last January. It scored 90 
points at Chicago in March and won the A. C. S. Silver Medal 
(first prize) at Pittsburgh in November. Patented but purchasers 
may propagate without limit for their own planting. 
$12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000 
Sonny (Winfield S. Kircher). A distinct novelty. An abundant 
bloomer, popular with all who have seen it. The flowers are large 
and the long, stiff, straight stems hold the bloom perfectly erect. 
The pleasing color, pink markings on deep yellow ground, hold 
without fading until the bloom withers, and harmonizes beautifully 
with whatever it may be used. 
Bountiful (Winfield S. Kircher). All that its name implies. A clear 
white with delicate pink penciling. Blooms are large and perfect, 
absolutely non-splitting and are borne on stiff, upright stems. The 
plants are compact, exceptionally strong and clean. 
Above varieties, $12.50 per 100, $100.00 per 1000 
E. H. Wilson. A large scarlet, exceptional for its bright color, extra 
large flower and very strong stems, and free blooming habits. 
$12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000 
No restrictions 
Golden Wonder (Littlefield-Wyman Nurseries). The queen of yel¬ 
low Carnations. Helps make profits at both ends. “It grows” 
better and “sells better.” Easy to grow in the field or inside. Free 
from disease. Easy to propagate. Has a very low percentage of 
seconds. An exceptionally good producer. A delicate, clear yellow, 
pink striped, large size, well-formed, strong grower and fine shipper. 
$12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000 
Giant Laddie (A. A. Pembroke). Giant describes its size, and Laddie 
needs no introduction. A great improvement over its predecessor 
and parent. 
$12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000 
Joan Marie (Florex Gardens). A large, pure white sport of Sophelia, 
retaining its size and high, full center throughout the season. 
Splits are negligible and the flowers are held erect on’sturdy stems. 
$12.50 per 100, $100.00 per 1000 
Patent restrictions against propagating have been removed

Sept. 28, 1934. 
In over thirty years of growing plants under glass and using many 
kinds of insecticides, HITOX is absolutely the best I have tried. Its 
work on Red Spider is wonderful. If I could have found such a 
killer years ago I would not have so many gray hairs now.
