CARNATIONS 
OLIVETTE 
A pure white seedling of which we are justly proud. It is one of the loveliest formed 
carnations we have ever seen. The bloom measures about three inches across, is 
perfectly symmetrical and compact and has a high, full center. It is shaped like 
a ball that has been cut in two. The petals are serrated, and never at any time 
show the slightest trace of discoloration. The fragrance of the flowers is exquisite. 
One unusual feature of this variety is that the long, broad calyx has six prongs 
instead of the usual five, and although the bloom is very full, the calyx is almost 
never known to split. Production is high and uniform. The stem is of good length 
and is strong. The flowers are remarkable keepers and shippers. The first flowers 
in the Fall from this variety are the finest of any variety of any color with which 
we are familiar. The invariable response of those who see OLIVETTE for the first 
time is; "It is beautiful, simply beautiful".
