New Carnations for 1941 
Introduction of new varieties of Carnations is necessary even if they are not always a great 
improvement on the variety they are meant to replace. The reason is simply that vegetative 
reproduction is necessary as Carnations will not come true from seed. After propagating by 
cuttings for a number of years a variety deteriorates. Some last longer than others, but sooner 
or later they must be replaced, therefore, new varieties must be introduced year after year if we 
are to maintain the present standard. 
CHARM (Patented). A new salmon pink variety with a flower nearly as large as Laddie and with 
a little darker color. It grows tall and has a very stiff stem. The plants grow well either in the 
field or planted indoors. This is the variety for those who desire the highest quality. 
$3.00 per dozen $20.00 per 100 $150.00 per 1,000 
DARK PINK MAYTIME (Illustrated on front cover), 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 Maytime. Production is much higher than is that of the average variety. Plants 
grow tall and erect, allowing close planting. It is a very rapid growing variety. The keeping 
quality of the flowers is outstanding. The first flowers are medium pink, similar to Pink Treasure, 
but darken rapidly so that within two or three weeks they are the color of Boston Ward, and 
they remain that color. 
$2.00 per dozen $10.00 per 100 $90.00 per 1,000 
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. 
$1.50 per dozen $8.50 per 100 $75.00 per 1,000 
POLLYANNA (Patent pending). Agreements must be signed. This variety will meet the demand 
for a salmon flesh color which will compare favorably in quality with the leading commercials 
and yield sufficiently to be profitable to grow. Being a seedling from Light Pink Abundance 
crossed with a seedling variety insures its productiveness, 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 summer. 
$3.00 per dozen $15.00 per 100 $125.00 per 1,000 
SEA SHELL (Illustrated on back cover). A large, well-formed, full-petaled seedling 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 prop- 
agate and grow. The color is lighter and softer than that of Virginia or Maytime. 
$3.00 per dozen $15.00 per 100 $125.00 per 1,000 
WHITE MAYTIME. 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 is 
especially appealing. A productive and profitable commercial white. 
$2.00 per dozen $10.00 per 100 $90.00 per 1,000 
WHITE PETER FISHER. A pure white sport of Peter Fisher. Both plants and flowers are like those 
of the parent. The bloom resembles an improved flower of Ivory, but of course the stem and 
foliage are much heavier. It is a clean, vigorous variety, easy to grow and entirely satisfactory.
