DARK PINK VARIETIES 
PARAGON. A lovely, vivid deep pink seedling introduced last year. The color 
is slightly deeper than that of My Love, but is more uniform throughout the season 
and has less tendency to fade than have most present day deep pinks. When 
handled properly, it is the best quality deep pink grown today. The flower has 
the same form as My Love, with high, full center, symmetrically formed and with 
serrated petals. The stem is long and strong, splitting is very slight and keeping 
qualities are unsurpassed. The plants are larger and heavier than those of My 
Love, without the grassy growth of the later variety. When planted by the middle 
of July and topped properly, PARAGON will outproduce either My Love or Ward. 
We have replaced all of our My Love with PARAGON, and our planting of deep 
pink is 75% in this variety. (Cultural suggestions sent with each order.)

DICHLING. One of the better English varieties. It is a rich, luminous cerise, 
rounded in form and of good size. The petals are smooth. The plants are bushy 
and free with fine long stems. It is a good producer and keeper

KATHRYN. Very similar in form and color to Dichling, but plants are bushier and 
production is heavier. We have carefully selected our plants of this variety, and 
now have a fine strain. Stems are long and wiry and the calyces are firm. This 
variety originated in Denver. It is superior in many ways to My Love or Ward

NEW DEAL WARD. A selected and improved Boston Ward. The color is very 
slightly deeper than that of Boston Ward, and the plants are more vigorous. Other¬ 
wise the characteristics are those of Boston Ward. This is the only Ward variety 
that we are now growing. It is a more satisfactory variety than Boston Ward, and 
is an important commercial carnation.

PINK TREASURE. (Patented by Baur-Steinkamp) This is a medium pink, much 
lighter in color than My Love or Paragon. It resembles Patrician in form and sub¬ 
stance, but has a longer stem and firmer calyx. The blooms are full and rounded 
with fringed petals. This is a very popular color and a variety we do not hesitate 
to recommend. (Patent agreements must be signed.) 
$20.00 per 100 $150.00 per 1000 
YORK BEAUTY. (Patented by Chas. Schaefer) This is a color very similar to 
Pink Treasure. The bloom is a little larger than that of Pink Treasure and the 
form is shaggier and less rounded. The plants are upright and vigorous, having 
long stems and good calyces. They are free flowering and the blooms are good 
keepers. (Patent agreements must be signed.)

YELLOW VARETIES 
MAINE SUNSHINE. The only clear yellow carnation which has been adequately 
tested and is widely grown today. The flowers are large and full with very 
slightly fringed petals. Production is high, and blooms keep and ship to perfection.

GOLDEN WONDER. This is unquestionably the best of the yellow variegated 
varieties. The flowers are large and full with very slightly fringed petals. The 
color is sulphur yellow with pink pencilings. May be used as a clear yellow early 
in the season. Production is high and keeping qualities excellent. Stem is of 
medium length.

YELLOW GOLD. (Patented by Baur-Steinkamp.) This is a new clear yellow 
which looks very promising, but which we have not tested sufficiently as yet to be 
certain of. The color is a trifle lighter than Maine Sunshine. The blooms are 
average size, are rounded and full and have fringed petals. The stem is a definite 
improvement upon Maine Sunshine, and the calyx appears firm. The plants are 
vigorous and healthy and give promise of good production. The flowers are fine 
keepers. (Patent agreements must be signed.)
