COTTAGE MAID 
A sport of Mrs. C. W. Ward, with the same habit of growth, high quality of flower, 
fine keeping and shipping qualities as its parent. In color it is light pink, verging on the 
flesh. It never fades, the color becoming slightly darker in Spring and Fall when the sun 
is hot. Very popular with the public. 
DORIS 
The commercial crimson. While not so large as Princess Dagmar, it is wonderlully 
free and persistent in blooming; coming in early and flowering continuously throughout 
the entire season. If you need a crimson—try Doris. 
NANCY 
Lovely light salmon; a shade deeper than Pink Delight. Practically a non-burster 
and as a producer stands among the highest of the commercial type. 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
Rooted Cuttings: 60c. per doz., $4.00 per 100. 
Pot Plants: 2^-in., $1.00 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
Pink 
ALICE. Medium-sized blooms; perfect in form. 
Color a beautiful shade of clear blush-pink. More 
productive than Enchantress, with the same free¬ 
dom of growth, and habit of plant all that can be 
desired. 
ENCHANTRESS SUPREME. A splendid va¬ 
riety that is making good everywhere. Color is a 
light salmon pink several shades deeper than the 
original parent, Enchantress, and this variety per¬ 
sists in the bright sunlight without fading. It is 
better than Enchantress in every way. We cannot 
too strongly recommend this variety. Calyx is a 
non-splitter, and the plant is just as productive as 
the old Enchantress. 
GOOD CHEER. Color deep pink, darker than 
Gloriosa. Stems extra long and still'. Size 3 to 
3 Yi inches and has good keeping qualities. Growth 
straight and upright, making well-shaped plants. 
Early and continuous flowering. As a producer it has 
exceptional merit; a bench in full crop impresses one 
with its great productiveness and commercial value. 
GORGEOUS. A fancy Carnation in every sense 
of the word. This variety will make stems 2to 
3 feet long. Considering its size it is very free. It 
is a variety that carries everything before it on the 
show table and has been awarded the A. C. S. Gold 
Medal. 
MRS. C. W. WARD. Deep pink, large, perfectly 
formed flower with full center. Very popular in 
all the wholesale markets. 
Scarlet 
AVIATOR. One of the very finest and freest 
scarlets ever produced; at its best for the ’Xmas 
crop. As every flower is perfect, this is a very profit¬ 
able sort to grow. Color, form and habit are alike, 
perfect. 
BEACON. The standard red. One of the freest 
Carnations grown and in more demand than any 
other variety. 
CHAMPION (Dorner). The most promising 
scarlet since the introduction of Beacon. F. Dorner 
& Sons, to whom we are indebted for this remark¬ 
able variety, have given us many ol our best varie¬ 
ties and it looks as though their claim for Champion 
that “it will be a scarlet White Wonder,” is well 
founded. 
White 
WHITE WONDER. Begins to bloom in Septem¬ 
ber and blooms throughout the season. Snow white 
and very fragrant. Exceptionally large in size. 
WHITE ENCHANTRESS. Of the pure white 
strain. Splendid variety and satislactory in all 
seasons. 
MATCHLESS. Well named the Matchless White. 
Winner of two gold medals at the International 
Flower Show, New York, 1913. Blooms early and 
continuously, and should line up as a great commer¬ 
cial variety. It seems to be easy to handle and very 
free. Flowers extra large and wonderfully fragrant. 
Variegated 
BENORA. Clear white, penciled bright red. 
Narrow foliage; very free, vigorous variety. 
Crimson 
PRINCESS DAGMAR. Largest and finest Car¬ 
nation ever produced in crimson; a wonderful keeper 
and one that we can recommend with confidence. 
Stock is scarce; as Dagmar is not classed as a com¬ 
mercial variety. 
Yellow 
YELLOW PRINCE. We are often asked for a 
yellow Carnation and submit Yellow Prince as being 
the only variety of its color worthy of consideration. 
This is a splendid, bright, clean yellow, with foliage 
a rich green and habit of plant vigorous and free 
from disease.
