CARNATIONS— (Continued ) 
LIGHT AND SALMON PINK 
POLLYANNA (Patent No. 434) B. S. & Co., 1941. This variety is very close tc 
being the ‘ideal carnation”. The flowers are more than average size, a good 
Laddie salmon-flesh pink color, good keepers and do not split. The stems 
are stiff and medium length. It makes a sturdy growth and good plants 
in the field which transplant easily. Pollyanna is one of our best producers. 
We recommend it as a variety that is profitable to grow.

LIGHT PINK ABUNDANCE (Patent No. 56) B. S. & Co., 1934. A light pink sport 
of the well-known Pink Abundance. The flowers are average size and the 
stems are siiff. Produces very freely. 
$1.50 per dozen, $8.50 per 100, $75.00 per 1000 
VIRGINIA—A widely-grown variety because of its free blooming habit and 
good keeping qualities. The flowers are a good shade of light pink and are 
average size. Many large growers grow great quantities of Virginia.

VIRGINIA HERCULES—A larger and more double flower than Virginia from 
which it sported. The growing habits, color and general appearance are the 
same but the larger flowers place Virginia Hercules in the quality class.

CHARM (Patent No. 344) A. Rasmussen & Son. A quality salmon-pink variety 
resembling Laddie in size but a little darker in color. It grows tall and has 
a very stiff stem. The plants grow well either in the field or planted indoors. 
Charm shows a close resemblance to Laddie except it is a good producer 
and is profitable to grow.

RED 
TOM KNIPE (Patent No. 533) B. S. & Co., 1943. The new red introduced by us 
last season that is, from latest reports and the number of re-orders, really 
making good. The flowers are full and large and do not split the calyx. 
Propagates easily and makes good plants in the field during the summer. 
A heavy producer the year round. We look for Tom Knipe to be as widely 
grown as King Cardinal in time.

FIRE CHIEF (Patent No, 463) Phil. J. Goebel. The new red sport of King Car- 
dinal. Fire Chief is identical to King Cardinal in growth and habits. The 
color is a little deeper than King Cardinal and the flower has 25% more 
petals, making it more valuable for shipping.

KING CARDINAL (Patent No. 148) B.S. & Co., 1936. This variety is the universal 
red carnation and is the model for varieties of all colors to be compared 
with. The bright scarlet color, strong stiff stem, freeness of blooming and 
rapid easy growth have made it the most widely grown variety in existence. 
$3.00 per dozen, $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000
