of all time, and is 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 red. 
There are no pencilings. The blooms are very large and full (The photograph is natural size), and 
in spite of the size of the flower, the percentage of splits is a fraction of one per cent. The plants 
are very large and bushy with broad foliage and fine stiff stems. The flowers are splendid keepers,
