1939 INTRODUCTIONS 
Ruth Hengstenberg (Theo. Hengstenberg & Sons). •— A 
light pink Carnation, the color of Virginia. A well 
shaped, full flower. A good producer and grower. 
Does not crop but will cut steadily throughout the 
entire season. Has a wiry but strong stem that will 
carry the flower without bending. The percentage 
of splits is negligible. (No restrictions). 
$20.00 per 100; $150.00 per 1000. 
Rosalie (Baur Steinkamp V Co.) (Patented). ■— Medium 
pink seedling from the same seed parent as Patrician 
and Pink Treasure. Belongs in the same color class 
as Betty Lou with a trifle more life in the color, 
which is most pleasing and lasting. A splendid 
grower, free in flower production and disease resist¬ 
ant. The blooms are large and keep exceptionally 
well. It dos not split the calyx. We believe that 
Rosalie will fill that long felt want for a high grade 
variety in the bright medium shade of pink. 
$20.00 per 100; $150.00 per 1000. 
Purchasers of 100 or more Cuttings may in future 
seasons buy R. C. at $100.00 per 1000 for 500 or more.

superior under artificial light. Shows no bluish cast,

through the warm Summer days. The bloom is a 
good marketable size, averaging three and one half 
inches across. The plants produce an unusually large 
percentage of first grade blooms on fine sturdy stems. 
Its spicy fragrance is quite pronounced and will hold 
its own in keeping qualities. The calyx is firm and 
devoid of snlits. A stocky grower, producing many 
cuttings. (No restrictions).
