BETTER CARNATIONS FOR 1943 — GgGate 
MEDIUM AND DARK PINK (Continued) 
VIRGINIA ROSE or DARK PINK VIRGINIA. This, also, is a medium or rose pink, much lighter 
in color than Ward, but slightly deeper and more uniform than is the case with Pink Treasure 
or Peter Fisher. The lively rose pink blends well in any floral arrangement. If Virginia does 
well with you, you can not afford to be without Virginia Rose.

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.

RED VARIETIES 
BARBARA FARR. A scarlet sport of Spectrum Supreme. The flowers are a trifle lighter in color

In the autumn and spring the flowers are to be preferred to those of King Cardinal because of 
their size and superior keeping quality.
