PHARAOH 
(Illustrated on front cover) 
This variety was introduced last season, but the demand for it so far exceeded 
our expectations that we were compelled to withdraw it from the market. Ad¬ 
vance orders for this lovely novelty have been so heavy this season that there is 
again the possibility that we may not be able to meet the demand. Therefore, 
we urge you to place your order for PHARAOH at the earliest possible date. 
Th IS IS the most beautiful novelty carnation available. It is in a color class by 
itself, being the only carnation we know of possessing this unusual color. The 
petals are a delicate shade of orange with a slightly pink tinting. The tips of each 
petal are fringed with scarlet. There are no pencilings. The bloom measures 
from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches across, and is full and well formed. The petals are 
fringed. Although this is a very large flower, production is high and the percen¬ 
tage of splits is a fraction of one per cent. The plants are large and bushy, the 
foliage is broad, the stems are long and hold the large flowers erect. The 
flowers are splendid keepers and shippers at all times, and will almost always 
command premium prices. Pharaoh is not restricted.

DARK PINK VIRGINIA 
(Illustrated on back cover) 
This is our own sport of Virginia, although it is identical to another rose pink 
sport of Virginia being offered under a different name. The name DARK PINK 
VIRGINIA is used to designate the two different sources of these sports. 
This variety is exactly the same as Virginia in every respect except color, which 
is a lovely rose pink, similar to that of Pink Treasure. This color is in far 
greater demand than is the light pink of the parent plant, and it is proving to be 
more popular than the deep pink Ward shades. If Virginia has done well with 
you, you will certainly want to try DARK PINK VIRGINIA. Our stock is vig¬ 
orous and free of disease.

A new light pink seedling, similar in color to Virginia. The blooms are larger and 
fuller than those of Virginia, and the plants are larger and more productive. The

JOYCE 
A lovely new deep crimson or maroon seedling originated by Carl Engelmann of 
England. The variety has been grown in this country for several years, and is 
now ready to take its place as a leader in this color class. We believe that it 
will,prove superior to all crimsons now available. The flowers are large and 
beautifully formed. They are fine keepers. The stem is long. There is very 
little splitting. The variety is a good producer. It is not restricted.
