BARBARA BRIGHAM. A sport of Golden Wonder having flowers which are a 
beautiful light apricot with pink pencilings. It is a color which blends magnifi- 
cently with other flowers in arrangements, and is very popular with retail florists. 
It is free flowering, and its keeping qualities are good. The form, size and 
habits of groth are the same as those of Golden Wonder.

MAINE SUNSHINE. Until Miller’s Yellow was introduced, Maine Sunshine had 
been for years by far the best clear yellow variety available. It is still widely 
grown, and is a fine yellow carnation. Its color is clear sulphur yellow with no 
variegation at all, slightly deeper than Miller's Yellow. The flowers are of good 
size, keeping quality is excellent, stems are long and production is high. There 
is some splitting.

PATENTED VARIETIES 
The following varieties have been selected as the best of the patented carnations. 
They are owned by Baur-Stemkamp and Co. and A. Rasmussen and Son. Patent 
agreements must be signed. We act as brokers for these varieties, and will be 
happy to take your order subject to the ability of the patent owners to supply 
the stock. We will gladly take your order for ANY of the patented carnations, 
but especially recommend the following: 
TOM KNIPE. A fine new scarlet seedling which may supplant King Cardinal 
as the leading red. The flowers are much larger and fuller than those of King 
Cardinal, the stems are long and sturdy, plants are large, bushy and easy to 
grow, and production is good. There is some tendency to split, and during very 
warm, bright weather, a slight darkening of the edges of the petals may occur.

CHARM. A very attractive light salmon-pink carnation which is about the only 
commercial variety available in this color today. It is much lighter in color 
than Giant Laddie, and is more vivid than Salmon Virginia. The flowers are large, 
beautifully formed, and keep well. The plants are tall, with no surplus growth. 
The calyx is firm. Production is average.

SETH PARKER. The finest of the crimson varieties. The flowers are larger 
than any others in this color class, and they have more red coloring which gives 
life to the blooms under artificiaal light. The variety is very long stemmed, splits 
very rarely, is a good keeper, and is more vigorous than most of the crimson va- 
rieties. The first Mowers have a tendency to come a little off-color, but this con- 
dition is of short duration. 
$20.00 per 100 $150.00 per 1000 
ROSALIE. A nice deep pink in the Ward color class. The flowers are medium 
to large, are of good substance, have deeply fringed petals, and keep perfectly. 
Plants are vigorous and free. The stem is long and the calyx is firm. The va- 
riety does best when grown inside and benched before the plants become too 
large. It should be wired and strung promptly to prevent the branches from sag- 
ging and becoming crooked. 
$20.00 per 100 $150.00 per 1000 
KING CARDINAL. For several years, this fine variety has been the leading red 
carnation. The vivid scarlet lowers are medium to large, with almost smooth 
petals. Stems are long and strong, and splitting is very rare. Plants are large, 
bushy and easy to grow. Production is high. Flowers are at their best during 
the winter months. Flowers that appear during the hot, bright spring weather 
may not keep too well, but the keeping quality is excellent at all other seasons.
