New and Recent Varieties (Continued) 
DARK PINK MAYTIME 
This is a deep pink sport of Maytime 
and has the same characteristics as the 
parent plant. The flower has the same 
form and substance, but is a little larger 
than that of Maytime. Production is higher 
than is that of the average variety. Plants 
grow tall and erect, allowing close plant¬ 
ing. It is a very rapid growing variety. 
The keeping quality of the flowers is out¬ 
standing. The first flowers are of medium 
pink, similar to Pink Treasure, but they 
darken rapidly, and within two or three 
weeks they are the color of Boston Ward, 
and they remain that color.

WHITE MAYTIME 
This is a pure white sport of Maytime, 
exactly like the parent variety in every 
respect except color. The Maytime blossom 
is a beautifully formed flower, and in this 
rich, pure white it is especially appealing. 
It is a productive and profitable commer¬ 
cial white.

WHITE PETER FISHER 
A pure white sport of the popular favor¬ 
ite, Peter Fisher. Both plants and flowers 
are like those of the parent plant. The 
bloom resembles an improved flower of 
the variety Ivory, but of course the stem 
and foliage is much heavier. It is a clean 
and vigorous variety, easy to grow and 
entirely satisfactory. 
$8.50 per 100 $75.00 per 1000 
HERMOSA 
A large and beautifully formed light 
pink seedling introduced last year. The 
color is richer and slightly deeper than 
that of Virginia. The plants are vigorous 
and free, stems are long and the calyx is 
firm. Production is good, and the flowers 
keep perfectly. This is a fine variety for 
those who have difficulty with Virginia.

SEA SHELL 
A large, well-formed, full-petalled seed¬ 
ling having a lovely and delicate shell pink 
color. Plants of this variety are especially 
fine, being large and bushy, vigorous and 
absolutely clean. Stems are long and stiff, 
but not brittle. The calyx does not split 
at any time. Production is good, and the 
flowers keep and ship well. It is an easy 
variety to propagate and grow, and it is 
the only new variety with which we are 
familiar that has been introduced in this 
light pink color class in recent years. The 
color is lighter and softer than that of 
Virginia or Maytime. The parentage is 
two unnamed seedlings. The variety is not 
restricted.

PATENTED CARNATIONS 
When a grower develops a new Car¬ 
nation by hybridization or discovers 
a sport that he believes is a new and 
distinct type, he may apply for a 
patent to the U. S. Bureau of Patents. 
If this Patent is granted, he has the 
right to sell this Carnation under any 
restriction he cares to make. 
Most introducers of Patented Carna¬ 
tions sell them by having the pur¬ 
chasers sign an agreement similar to 
the following: 
“We agree to propagate only in 
such quantity as we will need for 
our own planting. We will neither 
sell, trade nor give away any 
plants or materials which might 
be used for propagating, and we 
will make every reasonable effort 
to prevent such material from 
leaving our premises. We further 
agree to destroy all plants pro¬ 
duced in excess of our own needs 
for planting.” 
When this agreement is signed, the 
owner of the patent grants the pur¬ 
chaser the right to propagate without 
limit for his own use.
