MAYTIME. This variety is still one of the most profitable we have grown. Its shell pink blooms 
are beautifully formed and of good size. The stem is long and stiff. Plants grow very rapidly, 
and are tall and erect, allowing the variety to be planted closer than the average. Some splitting 
occurs at times, but production is so high that if all splits were thrown away, the number of salable 
flowers produced would still be greater than the entire production of the average variety. It is 
unsurpassed in keeping quality. The flowers maintain their size, color and keeping quality during 
hot Spring weather better than any other carnation in this color class.

RUTH HENGSTENBERG. A recently introduced light pink seedling similar in color to Virginia, but 
with larger, fuller flowers than those of Virginia. Plants are large and productive with long stems

excellent substitute. In fact many growers prefer it to Virginia.
