8 CARNATIONS 

RED AND CRIMSON VARIETIES 
BARBARA FARR. A scarlet sport of Spectrum Supreme, slightly lighter in 
color than that variety, but freer and less likely to split. Its size and form is 
the same as that of Spectrum Supreme, and the plants have the same character- 
istics. The stems are of good length and fairly strong. The flowers are excel- 
lent keepers. In the Autumn and Spring the flowers are preferred to those of 
King Cardinal because of their size and superior keeping qualities.

SPECTRUM SUPREME. This is still a popular red variety although it has been 
grown for years. It is a heavy producer of fine flowers of good size having deeply 
fringed petals. The stems are long. The flowers keep perfectly. The plants 
are vigorous and easy to grow. Its principal faults are that it splits freely at 
times, and when not grown properly may produce a weak stem. It is still a 
valuable commercial carnation. 
$6.00 per 100 $50.00 per 1000 
BEUERLEIN’S CRIMSON. The color is a trifle darker than that of Woburn. 
The flowers are of medium size, and are carried on medium length stems. The 
variety is very prolific, coming much earlier and freer than Woburn. The calyx 
does not split. This is a promising new variety. 
$8.00 per 100 $70.00 per 1000 
JOYCE. A new crimson variety having much larger flowers than Beuerlein’s 
Crimson and containing a little more red in the petals. Under artificial light it 
has more life than most of the crimson varieties. It is very prolific, has a fine, 
long stem, and is an excellent carnation. Some splitting occurs.

WOBURN. This was one of the first important crimson varieties, and it is still 
a leader in this color class. It is famed for its high quality blooms. It never 
splits, and seldom produces a poor flower. The blooms are large, and keep well. 
It is not as early as some others, but it produces well and usually commands 
premium prices in the large markets.
