CARNATIONS 
RED VARIETIES 
BARBARA FARR. A sport of Spectrum Supreme. Is a little lighter in color, but 
has a stronger stem, is more prolific and does not split as badly. During much of 
the season, the color is hardly distinguishable from that of Spectrum Supreme, and 
we consider it a definite improvement upon this later variety. Records of an entire 
season show that this variety has produced as high as 47.7 blooms per square 
foot of bench with only 6% split blooms.

LUXURY. A new scarlet introduced last year. The growth is heavier, the stem 
stiffer and the calyx firmer than on any other present day red variety. The stem 
is long and strong, the calyx never splits, the plants are clean and vigorous and 
production is high. The color is a trifle lighter than that of Spectrum Supreme 
The flowers are very symmetrical and the petals are fringed. They are of medium 
size. This is not a show quality bloom, but is an excellent commercial variety. 
In the Spring, it is the best of the present day reds. (Cultural suggestions sent with 
each order.)

SPECTRUM SUPREME. This is still the most widely grown commercial red. It is 
a heavy producer, the color is fine, the size is good and the keeping qualities 
superb. The plants are large and vigorous. The stem is long, but at times is 
inclined to be weak.

WILDFIRE. A true scarlet, similar in form and color to Spectrum Supreme, but a 
trifle smaller. Preferred by many growers to any other red. It is a good producer 
and the flowers keep well.

KING CARDINAL. (Patented by Baur-Steinkamp) This variety has the loveliest 
coloring of any existing red variety, and during mid-winter is unsurpassed in any 
respect by other reds. The bloom is large and rounded with almost smooth petals. 
It is not very full centered, but is a good keeper and an excellent producer. Will 
bring premium prices on any market. The plants are large, the foliage broad and 
the growth vigorous and clean. (Patent agreements must be signed.)

NOVELTY VARIETIES 
BARBARA BRIGHAM. We consider this to be the most beautiful of all the novelty 
carnations. It is a sport of Golden Wonder. The petals are of light apricot with 
pink pencilings. The form, size and habits of growth are the same as those of 
Golden Wonder. This variety combines perfectly with other flowers in floral work, 
and is very popular with the retail florist. It is an excellent keeper.

in form and color. The plants are bushy and low, very vigorous and very free.

nations. The color is a white ground, overlaid on each petal with crimson maroon, 
creating a replica of the old Pelargonium. It is a lovely color and is very popular.
