NEW CARNATIONS FOR 1938 
(SEE FRONT COVER) 
The novelty colors in all flowers are meeting with popular favor 
these days. There is such a wide range of colors in the carnation, one 
can find a desired tint of combination to suit any occasion. Every re¬ 
tail grower should have a bench of novelty colored carnations, to cut from 
as needed. We are offering three varieties that have proven their worth 
and should meet a ready response. 
YELLOW GOLD. There is a persistant demand for a clear yellow 
carnation. In Yellow Gold we have a variety with a clear golden yellow 
color without markings. It has good average sized blooms carried on 
strong stems. This variety will soon find a place among the standard 
cut flower varieties. 
REMEMBRANCE. This variety comes from the hybridizer of Chief 
Kokomo, who finds it most useful in his retail work. Its pleasing orchid 
shade lends itself admirably to corsage and other arrangements where 
delicate coloring is desired. The flower is about three inches in diame¬ 
ter, borne on good stems and keeps fine. Grows rapidly and blooms 
very freely. Mr. Knipe (the originator) grows a 5x100 foot bench and 
keeps it cut close at all times. 
ROYAL PURPLE. The maroons have come into their own as a bou- 
tonier flower for evening dress. There is a very definite place for these 
purple maroons in high class floral arrangement. Royal Purple has all 
the requisites of the modern commercial carnation. It has good size, good 
form, a perfect calyx, good stem and a pleasing purple maroon color 
that holds its velvety lustre. It makes fine plants and blooms early and 
freely. You will find many uses for the blooms of this fine variety. 
We have made application for patents on these three fine varieties. 
Privilege grants will be issued to purchasers to propagate without limit 
and without payment of royalty for their own planting. Delivery will 
begin in December, 1937, and orders will be filled in rotation as booked. 
The price will be $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100 and $150 per 1,000. 
Purchasers of one hundred or more cuttings at the above prices will be privileged in 
future seasons to purchase in lots of 500 or more at the rate of eight cents per cutting. 
This offer is made subject to availability of stock, all orders be¬ 
ing filled in rotation as received.
