Carnations for 1942 
New and Recent Introductions 
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. 
BEUERLEIN’S CRIMSON. A new and outstanding crimson variety. The color and form 
are the same as Woburn, but the flowers are not quite as large. The variety is much 
earlier and freer than Woburn. The quality of the flowers is high, the calyx never splits, 
the stems are long, and the keeping quality is excellent. The plants are free and vigor- 
ous, and the variety is very prolific. This is perhaps the most profitable carnation in this 
color class. 
$3.75 for 25 $12.00 per 100 $100.00 per 1,000 
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. 
$6.00 for 25 $20.00 per 100 $150.00 per 1,000 
DARK PINK MAYTIME. 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. 
$2.50 for 25 $8.50 per 100 $75.00 per 1,000 
HERMOSA. Ai large and beautifully formed light pink seedling. 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. 
$2.50 for 25 $8.50 per 100 $75.00 per 1,000 
POLLYANNA (Patented). 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. 
$4.50 for 25 $15.00 per 100 $125.00 per 1,000 
SEA SHELL. 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, vigor- 
ous 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. The color is lighter and softer than that of Virginia or 
Maytime. 
$2.70) tore25 $9.00 per 100 $80.00 per 1,000 
STAR DUST (Patented). Pure white flower of corsage type, 3!/, inches in size and re- 
mains large in warm weather. Stem is strong, carrying flower erect and growing habits 
are good, plant being free from disease. 
$6.25 for 25 $20.00 per 100 $150.00 per 1,000 
WHITE PETER FISHER. A pure white sport of Peter Fisher. The bloom resembles an 
improved Ivory, but the stem and foliage are much heavier. It is a clean, vigorous 
variety, easy to grow and entirely satisfactory.
