NEW VARIETIES 
SEA SHELL 
(Illustrated on back cover) 
A large, well-formed, full-petalled 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 propagate and grow, and 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. 
$15.00 per 100 $125.00 per 1,000 
DARK PINK MAYTIME 
(Illustrated on front cover) 
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 blooms of 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 these blooms darken 
rapidly so that within two or three weeks they are the color of Boston Ward, 
and they remain that color. 
$10.00 per 100 $90.00 per 1,000 
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 is especially appealing. A productive and profitable 
commercial white. 
$10.00 per 100 $90.00 per 1,000 
WHITE PETER FISHER 
A pure white sport of that popular favorite 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 are much heavier. 
It is a clean, vigorous variety, easy to grow and entirely satisfactory. 
$8.50 per 100 $75.00 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. This is a fine variety for those who have difficulty with 
Virginia. 
$8.50 per 100 $75.00 per 1,000 
The finest cuttings in the world will not produce good plants unless they are properly 
cared for.
