w will soon be ready to begin propagating the thirty carnation varieties listed 
below. Each variety has been selected for its superiority or its place in the carnation 
market. There are show varieties and ’'bread and butter” varieties, standard varieties 
for the large producer and novelties for the retail grower. We believe that we have 
the best assortment we have ever presented. 
Each cutting is treated with potassium permanganate and rooted in steam sterilized 
sand that is changed after every lot. The stock plants are sprayed with Bordeaux both 
in the field and in the benches. Every precaution is taken to insure your receiving 
only the best disease-free cuttings. 
The cost of the cutting is a small part of the total cost of the crop and yet the 
cutting is so important in determining the success of the crop. For this reason special 
care should be taken in selecting the cuttings where a few cents more invested may 
mean many dollars return on the finished crop. 
POLLYANNA 
For some time there has been a persistent demand 
for a variety in the salmon flesh color which will 
compare favorably in quality with the leading com¬ 
mercials and yield sufficiently to be profitable to grow. 
In our new variety "Pollyanna” we believe that we 
have it. Being a seedling from Light Pink Abun¬ 
dance crossed with a seedling variety insures its pro¬ 
ductiveness, the growth being somewhat sturdier and 
slightly shorter in stem. The bloom is good sized and 
symmetrical and keeps exceptionally well. The calyx 
does not split. The color is a good Laddie shade of 
salmon flesh which holds its freshness late into sum¬ 
mer. We recommend Pollyanna to the discriminating 
grower who strives for quality along with productive¬ 
ness. It makes fine plants in the field and transplants 
readily. 
Pollyanna will be sold under Patent (pending) with 
our usual propagating privilege granted to purchasers 
at $3.00 per dozen, $15.00 per 100, $125.00 per 1,000. 
We are booking orders now.
