NEW VARIETIES 
All Varieties—Except Where Noted. 250 at 1000 Rate. 
Again introducing some British varieties of out¬ 
standing merit, that promise to stay in that classi¬ 
fication for some years to come. 
Last year’s introductions are measuring up to 
our fondest hopes. 
Results of the first year have stimulated the de¬ 
mand far beyond expectations, and the future for 
these new comers is brighter than ever. 
If you grow Carnations, some day you will 
buy them. Why not now? 
Get them before they become standard. Enjoy 
the publicity and price that novelties command. 
Purity. A giant pure white, the size of Laddie, having all 
other characteristics of Ivory (one of its parents) in¬ 
cluding productivity. In spite of the price, a surprisingly 
large quantity is being sold. 
$12.00 per doz. $90.00 per 100. 
Dichling. A rich luminous shade of Dark Pink. Free from 
Magenta. Deep rounded flower of perfect form and good 
size. Magnificent habit of growth. Makes a bushy plant. 
Very free and healthy. Long erect stems with perfect 
calyx. A worthy variety, to fill all demands for a real 
good Dark Pink Carnation, and one which will be widely 
grown. On test as a cut flower, Dichkng has lasted 
twenty days in a fresh state. 
Guy Allwood. Delightful Salmon Pink of Laddie shade, 
but richer in tone during Spring and Summer. A superior 
variety to Laddie in color, freedom of flower, ease of 
propagation and perfume. Guy Allwood, producing as it 
does, two flowers to one of Laddie’s, is undoubtedly the 
best variety in its color class today. 
Dairy Maid. White ground, heavily striped pink toward 
the edge of petals ; a charming coloring. The flowers are 
large and full, with rich fragrance. The growth is ex¬ 
ceptionally robust, healthy, and free flowering. In Dairy 
Maid we have the finest variety of similar colorings. It 
seems faultless and is a pleasure to cultivate. A good 
keeper and a grand show variety.

stiff stems are in keeping with the rest of the flower.

and never fails to win highest honors. Greatheart will 
constantly produce quality flowers without cropping, way 
into hot Summer.
