3 
NEW VARIETIES 
ANTARCTIC 
A very large white seedling, often growing four inches or more 
across. A remarkable producer for a variety with such large 
blooms, yielding as many flowers per plant as most varieties with 
smaller blooms. These blooms keep and ship to perfection. The 
stem is long and is strong enough to adeguately support the large 
bloom. The calyx almost never splits, although the flower is very 
full centered. The plants are bushy and free and the variety is 
easy to grow and propagate. The blooms are of show guality, 
and will command premium prices over most of the season. 
ANTARCTIC was awarded a bronze medal by the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society in November at a time when most varieties 
are still of rather poor guality.

DISCOVERY 
(See color plate) 
A seedling of reddish purple with edges fading to Tyrean pink 
and having a velvet sheen. This is one of the most unusual and 
attractive novelties offered in carnations, and is in a color class 
by itself. DISCOVERY has attracted a great deal of attention and 
has become very popular with the better class of retail florists. It 
makes up beautifully in floral work of any kind. The plants are 
clean and free, production is high, the stem is long and strong, 
the calyx is firm, and it is an easy variety to propagate. The 
flowers are 2$^ to 3 inches across. DISCOVERY will attract more 
attention than any other variety in your greenhouse.

SAGAMORE 
(See color plate) 
A bright orange seedling having petals tipped with red. We 
believe we are right in saying that there is no variety offered 
today of this same shade. Its charming color blends beautifully in 
floral arrangements, and its popularity has been limited only by 
our inability to meet the demand. SAGAMORE is a well-formed 
flower about 3 inches across and has fringed petals. It is carried 
on a long stiff stem, and has a firm calyx which never splits. The 
blooms are of uniform high guality throughout the season. Pro¬ 
duction is high, the plants are large, but not grassy, and the growth 
is clean and vigorous. Cuttings are plentiful, and are easily 
rooted and grown.
