LIGHT PINK VARIETIES 
HERCULES VIRGINIA. This is a sport of the variety Virginia. The plants 
have the same characteristics as those of the parent variety. The flowers are 
of the same form and color, but are much larger and fuller. When the variety 
is at its best during the winter and spring months, the flowers are easily twice 
the size of the Virginia blooms. Our supply of this variety is very limited this 
season. 
$15.00 per 100 ~ $125.00 per 1000 
MAYTIME. A beautiful, rich shell pink with high, full centers. There is no 
lovlier formed carnation than MAYTIME. The plants are tall and erect, with 
no grassy growth at all. Closer planting is possible with this variety because of 
its tall, straight growth. The stems are long. Production is high. The flowers 
are unsurpassed for keeping quality, and they maintain this quality and their 
color and size better than any other variety in this color class during the warm 
spring months. The variety is easy to propagate and grow. At certain definite 
periods the variety will split, but this splitting does not occur throughout the 
season. Usually at the time that splitting occurs, the stems are more or less 
brittle. In spite of these defects, MAYTIME continues to be the most profitable 
variety we have grown for many years, and we have averaged better than 40 
blooms per square foot of bench for several years.

HERMOSA. An attractive, vivid light pink. The color is much deeper and 
brighter than that of Virginia, but not as deep as that of Ward. The flowers 
are large, and keep well. Production is good. The plants are vigorous, and 
bush up well although they are not as tall as Maytime nor as sturdy as Virginia. 
It is one of the prettiest carnations in the light pink class, and is especially 
recommended for those who have difficulty with Maytime or Virginia.
