New Carnations 
The past five years have brought to the florist industry many important changes. 
The CARNATION is growing in popularity. That popularity can be increased by the elimina¬ 
tion of the poorer second rate varieties, small flowers, weak stems, and poor keepers. The trend 
of the market is now toward quality and values rather than price. 
For YOUR OWN PROFIT and the betterment of the markets discard your older and out 
of date varieties and replace with one or more of the new and better varieties. 
A number of New and improved ones are offered this season. 
“GREATHEART” 
Color—Deep rose pink (Ward shade), lively glowing color without trace of magenta. The 
flower is consistently perfect form of uniform large sire, 4inches and larger; calyx perfect, prac¬ 
tically never splits. Production—GREATHEART is not only a quality Carnation but produces 
in quantity as well. GREATHEART was a 1928 Seedling and has been thoroughly tested and 
has always commanded an extra price in the market. GREATHEART is patented, but there 
are no restrictions on propagating for your own planting.
