Whitsuntide Carnation 
Novelty for 1937 
An entirely new strain of feathered Car¬ 
nation with beautifully fringed petals. It 
is probably the first Carnation of that 
type that can be propagated from seed. 
The seed usually produces 70 to 80% 
double flowers. The flowers are of fine 
form with diameters of 2% to 3 inches. 
The plants are hardy and perennial with 
pood foliage and an abundance of bloom. 
The stalks are about 16 inches long, up¬ 
right and strong enough to withstand out¬ 
door weather conditions. 
When well established the plants bloom 
early, beginning in May which is ahead of 
the Vienna or Grenadin Carnations. We 
offer the seed in mixture containing pink 
and light red shades and lilac. Intro¬
