DARK PINK VARIETIES 
VIRGINIA MILLER. This is one of the most valuable varieties that has been 
introduced in a great many years. It is a sport of Virginia. The color is a true 
deep pink, the shade of Ward or Rosalie. It is not to be confused with Virginia 
Rose, for it is much darker than that variety. This color in a really good variety 
has been lacking for some time. Every grower who is able to grow the Virginia 
varieties successfully should certainly secure stock of Virginia Miller. For fur- 
ther description, see Virginia. (There are at least two other sports of Virginia 
on the market, each bearing a different name, which are identical to Virginia 
Miller, but which sported with different growers.) 
$15.00 per 100 $125.00 per 1000 
DARK PINK FISHER. The most valuable of the Peter Fisher varieties. The 
color is very popular, being much darker than Peter Fisher, but not quite as 
deep as Rosalie or John Briry. Its habits and appearance are the same as those 
of Peter Fisher. For further description, see Peter Fisher. 
$10.00 per 100 $80.00 per 1000 
JOHN BRIRY. This fine deep pink carnation attains the highest quality of any 
variety in its color class. The flowers are very large and full-centered, with 
fringed petals, firm calyxes, and especially long, strong stems. The plants are 
vigorous and are very large and bushy. The flowers keep wonderfully, and will 
invariably bring premium prices on all markets throughout the season. The 
variety is not a heavy producer. 
$8.50 per 100 — $75.00 per 1000 
DARK PINK MAYTIME. A sport of Maytime which has all of the character- 
istics of the parent plant except that the flowers are slightly larger and are a 
beautiful shade of deep pink. The flowers have the same delightful form as do all 
of the Maytime varieties, and there is no deep pink carnation today that can sur- 
pass this variety in color, form, productiveness and general quality. It has the 
same habit of splitting and being slightly brittle that the other Maytime varieties 
have, but even with these faults, it is one of our most profitable varieties. 
$8.50 per 100 $75.00 per 1000 
NEW DEAL WARD. This is a selected and improved Boston Ward. The color 
is slightly deeper than that of Boston Ward, and the plants are a little more 
vigorous. Otherwise the habits are those of Boston Ward. It is a popular and 
widely-grown variety, but it does split freely at times. The flowers keep perfectly. 
$7.00 per 100 $60.00 per 1000
