CARNATIONS 
LIGHT PINK VARIETIES 
AIDA. We are more certain than ever that this light salmon pink seedling is the 
best in its color class for commercial growers today. Flowers are large and full 
and are borne on very straight strong stems, very seldom split their calyces, do not 
bleach out, and keep and ship well. Plants are large and produce an abundance 
of fine blooms which will bring premium prices during much of the season. AIDA 
was awarded a silver medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society early in 
November at a time when very few varieties could gualify for such an honor. It 
has also won numerous other awards and prizes.

VIRGINIA. Medium sized blooms of bright Enchantress pink and possessing 
remarkable keeping and shipping gualities. Plants are unusually clean and vigor¬ 
ous, and the stems are very strong. Produces steadily throughout the season. Its 
color and keeping gualities make VIRGINIA one of the most popular varieties 
with the retailers, and its popularity with growers has been astounding. Every 
carnation grower should certainly try VIRGINIA.

PETER FISHER. An exguisite shade of lively rose pink. A seedling from 
Ivory and a sport of Sophelia. The bloom has the appearance of a pink Ivory, 
but the stem is much stronger and the foliage heavier. Like Ivory, it is a heavy 
producer, clean and vigorous, and the blooms are excellent keepers. The calyx 
does not split. It is a truly great money maker.

ATLANTIS. Flowers are hermosa or rose pink of a shade similar to that of 
Peter Fisher. The flowers are a little larger and the stem a little stronger. It 
blooms early and continuously, and has been very popular with the retailers. 
Although we introduced this variety only last season, we have dropped the price 
in order to compete with Virginia and Peter Fisher, all of which are in a similar 
color class.

MINA BRENNER. A flesh pink sport of Boston Ward. Medium sized blooms, 
fine stems and splendid shipping and keeping gualities. It is a heavy producer, 
the plants being bushy and free. This is not a show flower, but it is truly a valuable 
commercial carnation. It has the same characteristics as Ward.
