LIGHT PINK VARIETIES 
MAYTIME. We do not hesitate for an instant in declaring this to be the finest and 
most profitable of all light pink varieties. Our experience, and that of others, 
justifies this assertion. We have received testimonials from growers, wholesalers, 
retailers and the general public regarding the virtues of MAYTIME. Last year 
MAYTIME averaged 41.7 blooms and 12 heel cuttings per square foot of bench. 
The percentage of split blooms was 5%, with practically all of these coming in a 
three week period early in the Fall. During the balance of the season, we cut 
nearly 100% perfect blooms. The color is a delicate shell pink. The bloom is 
beautifully formed, is symmetrical and measures about 31/2 inches across. The 
stem is unusually long and stiff. The plants are large and upright, allowing of 
close planting. They grow very rapidly. The flowers keep and ship perfectly. 
MAYTIME will maintain its size, color, keeping quality and production better than 
any other variety in this color class during hot. Spring weather. (Cultural sugges¬ 
tions sent with each order.)

everywhere. Blooms are of medium size, petals are fringed, stems are of good

quality. Every grower should try VIRGINIA.

PETER FISHER. This variety surpasses all others in the rose pink class, and is 
well liked by everyone who has grown it. The stems are long, calyces are firm, 
production is very high, and the plants are vigorous and disease-resistant. The 
flowers are of medium size and are excellent keepers. The lively rose pink shade 
is very popular with retailers. Is at its very best during the Spring holiday season. 
Petals are deeply fringed and blooms are formed similar to those of Ivory.

CRIMSON VARIETIES 
WOBXJHN. This is still the leading crimson variety. Practically every flower is of 
top quality. The blooms are large and full with very slightly fringed petals. The 
calyx never splits, the stem is long and strong. This variety will bring premium 
prices at all times on the large markets. 
$6.00 per 100 $50.00 per 1000 
JOHNSON'S CRIMSON. The color is the same as that of Woburn. The variety is 
earlier and freer than Woburn, but blooms are not as large or of the uniform high 
quality as those of Woburn. Many growers prefer it because of its much higher 
production and its earlier flowering.
