NEW VARIETIES 
For 1942-43 
We expect to introduce next season at least two new carnations, but we are not 
prepared to describe them until further tests have been made. We wish to be as 
certain as possible that the varieties we offer will be really worthwhile and of 
commercial value. 
The following four varieties have been introduced in a limited way, but because 
of restrictions or limited stock we cannot ship them until December of 1942. 
Orders are now being taken for delivery on and after DECEMBER 1942. As these 
are outstanding varieties and the demand for them will be great, we urge that 
you place your order as early as possible. 
SCARLET KING 
This is a sport of Pelargonium, but is a more satisfactory growing variety than 
Pelargonium, is freer and has a more outstanding color. The petals are a creamy 
white with centers of bright red. It is a beautiful carnation, even more appealing 
than Pelargonium. The flowers are of good size and substance, stems are long, 
the calyx firm, and the keeping quality excellent. 
$12.00 per 100 $100.00 per 1000 
MARCHIONESS OF HEADFORT 
This is an English variety of the Pelargonium type, and is one of the most beauti- 
ful and impressive carnations ever introduced. The petals are a creamy white, 
melting into a ground color of rich, reddish orange. It is a good grower, a goo 
producer, and has a pleasing fragrance. The flowers of Marchioness of Headfort 
and of Scarlet King are certain to command premium prices in any market at any 
time. 
$12.00 per 100 $100.00 per 1000 
GIANT PETER FISHER 
This is a sport of Peter Fisher, is a little more vivid in color, and holds its color 
better than Peter Fisher. It has the same type of flower as Peter Fisher, but is 
very much larger. The plants have the same characteristics as the parent variety, 
and production is about the same. This is a more desirable variety than Peter 
Fisher because of its size, and will be a profitable variety because it is prolific and 
vigorous. 
$12.00 per 100 $100.00 per 1000 
JOHN BRIRY 
This is a dark pink carnation of high quality. It is not as heavy a producer as 
some commercial varieties, but its long, strong stem and high quality cause it to 
bring »remium prices. The plants are very large and bushy. The flowers keep 
perfectly. The color is similar to that of My Love. 
$10.00 per 100 $90.00 per 1000 

There is no purpose for which cut flowers can be used for which 
the carnation is not appropriate and pleasing.
