NOVELTIES (Continued) 
DIMITY. Another fine English novelty. The petals are white with deep claret 
pencilings. The plants are bushy and tall, the stem is long and stiff, the calyx 
very rarely splits, and the habits of growth are excellent. It is a good producer. 
The flowers are large, rounded and full, with fringed petals. We like this variety 
very much.

SAGAMORE. This novelty is unique in its coloring. The petals are a bright 
orange, fringed and tipped with red. We know of no other variety of this same 
color. The well-formed flowers of medium size are borne on long, stiff stems. The 
calyx never bursts. Production is high. Keeping and shipping qualities are 
fine. The plants are large and healthy. This variety has been extremely popular 
with the retailers.

NEW VARIETIES FOR DECEMBER 1939 
DARK PINK VIRGINIA. This is our own rose pink sport of Virginia, sporting from 
the original stock purchased from the Hingham Gardens. Has exactly the same 
form and characteristics as the parent plant, but its color is much deeper, coming 
in the color class of Pink Treasure and York Beauty. It is definitely not the Ward 
or My Love shade. 
DARK PINK MAYTIME. A beautiful lively cerise sport of Maytime, identical to 
Maytime in every respect except color. One of the loveliest shades of deep pink 
we have seen in any carnation. 
WHITE MAYTIME. A pure white sport of Maytime, identical to Maytime in every 
respect except color. 
SNOW WHITE. A giant pure white seedling reaching four and five inches across 
Blooms are very full and high centered. We believe that it is the largest and 
finest white carnation ever offered. Although it is decidedly of show quality, 
production is better than average, making it a very profitable variety. Stems are 
long and strong, the calyx does not need banding, in spite of the enormous bloom. 
It keeps perfectly. The petals are slightly fringed. The bloom is not shaggy, but 
is well rounded and is of beautiful form. 
No. 12 LIGHT PINK. An enormous, delicately shaded shell pink, about the same 
color as Maytime. In size, form and 'growing habits it is very similar to SNOW 
WHITE, described above. We do not believe that anything like it has ever been 
offered in this color.
