Carnation Introductions 
Are Dependable 
MR. CARNATION GROWER: 
For the past 25 years Carnations have been one of my 
specialties. In 1934 I introduced “Virginia.” 
I had exclusive sale for two years. Growers from coast to 
coast and all parts of Europe tell me it is the best carna' 
tion they have bought in recent years. 
For 1939 I offer two new Virginia Sports—Virginia Rose 
and White Virginia (pure white). Both have the same good 
qualities. No splits. Wonderful keepers, etc. 
I will place both varieties on trial in 1937 which I con- 
sider fair to the buyer. 
In the past many varieties were placed on the market with' 
out trial except on their home grounds. I think every new 
variety should be tried out in different sections of the 
country before they are offered to the trade. 
I feel confident that carnation growers will welcome a 
“White Virginia” and “Virginia Rose” a more pleasing 
shade of pink than Ward. Up to date many growers have 
placed their orders for both varieties. I am now booked 
up for December 1938 and am now booking for January, 
1937, so I suggest that you place your order soon as pos' 
sible to get in on January delivery. 
Other varieties that I put on the market exclusively in the 
past were “Dandy”, a sport of Morning Glow. Sceptre and 
Improved Giant Laddie. 
This year I offer to the trade the best White Freesia ever 
offered. Schroders White Perfection. Patent No. 237. I 
have sent it out on trial to about forty leading Tressia 
growers for the past three years. All of them have con' 
firmed my claim. A strong grower with 24 inch stiff stems, 
earlier than Purity or Superflora with fine firm fragrant 
flowers as large as Golden Daffodil. See page 19. Also 
note on page 20 my 193 5 introduction — New Ageratum 
Irwins Purple Beauty. Every one who bought some tell 
me it is without doubt the best ageratum on the market.
