4 CARNATIOIN'S 

MEDIUM PINK VARIETIES 
ROSE CARESS. A seedling originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
and disseminated through the Society of American Florists. The flowers are 
large and full and beautifully formed. The stems are very long and sturdy. The 
calyx is firm. The variety flowers early, and production is good. Flowers keep 
well. Plants are large, clean and vigorous. The color is a fine rose pink similar 
to that of Pink Treasure when that variety is at its best. The one fault of Rose 
Caress is that there is a tendency for some mottled, or off-colored blooms to 
appear.

GIANT FISHER. A sport of Peter Fisher. The flower is the same color as that 
of Peter Fisher. The plants have the same appearance and habits. Production 
is about the same. The blooms, however, are very much larger than those of the 
parent variety. When the first flowers appear, they do not differ greatly from 
those of Peter Fisher. However, the size of the bloom increases rapidly, so 
that by Thanksgiving the difference is very apparent. Because of the much 
larger, fuller flowers, some splitting occurs.

VIRGINIA ROSE. A medium or rose pink sport of Virginia. The color is lighter 
than that of Ward or Rosalie, but brighter and more uniform than that of Peter 
Fisher or Pink Treasure. This is one of the most popular carnations grown 
today, for the delicate rose pink blends beautifully with other colors and in all 
types of floral arrangements. The plants seem to be a little more vigorous than 
those of Virginia, and production will run slightly higher. Otherwise, Virginia 
Rose is exactly the same as Virginia.

PETER FISHER. A very popular medium or rose pink carnation. It is fairly 
immune to most carnetion diseases, produces an abundance of cuttings, and is 
one of the easiest of all varieties to grow. The plants are tall and bushy, but 
not grassy. Stems are strong. The calyx very seldom bursts. Production is 
high. The flowers are of medium size and have deeply fringed petals. They are 
good keepers. One of the peculiarities of this variety is that the color deepens 
and is the loveliest during the warm, bright spring months when most other va- 
rieties are fading and becoming smaller. All of the Fisher varieties are at top 
quality during the period of the spring holidays. The one fault of the Fisher 
varieties is that during the dark days of mid-winter, the centers of the flowers 
do not unfold fully, creating the impression of having been cut on the tight side.

SALMON PINK VARIETIES 
SALMON VIRGINIA. A new light salmon pink sport of virginia which has all 
of the characteristics and habits of Virginia. The color is a valuable addition to 
the present day list of commercial carnations, and should prove very popular. 
For further description, see Virginia.

ous, and are carried on long, strong stems. Production is good for such a large 
flower.
