MRS. C. B. JOHNSON 
(Seedling) 
Cross Virginia and Patrician. Color, a lovely light 
salmon pink and a strong, clean, healthy grower with 
tine, strong stem. Free flowering and a wonderful 
keeper, and we have found no splits. Flowers meas¬ 
ure 3 } / 2 inches and over that are very double and per¬ 
fect form. We named this wonderful Carnation in 
honor of Mrs. C. B. Johnson, wife of Mr. C. B. John¬ 
son, a well known Carnation grower who developed so 
many good varieties such as: Peter Fisher, Woburn, 
Johnson’s Crimson, Ivory and many others. This 
Carnation was developed by Hingham Flower & Gar¬ 
den Co., Hingham, Mass, and introduced exclusively 
by us. We shipped samples for trial all over this 
country and Europe and the reports are wonderful. 
We sent ten cuttings to one grower in Holland last 
year and w r hen they flowered this year he ordered 
10,000 cuttings. From Sweden we received two or¬ 
ders for 5,000 each, the result of the samples. We and 
Mr. C. B. Johnson and many other growers think 
this Carnation has a wonderful future. We feel sure 
that every Carnation grower will be pleased and 
profit by growing this variety.
