NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
MRS. VIRGINIA IRWIN. (George P. Barr.) 
New Variety for 1947-48 Season. 
This new sport of Giant Virginia is a rose pink in color 
similar to Virginia Rose, but with stronger habit of growth and 
with large, full textured flowers double the size (actual petal 
count) of the old Virginia, with strong calix and free of any 
tendency to splitting. Production compares favorably with 
principal commercial varieties grown today. It has flowered 
upwards of 30 blooms to a single plant the first season, and 
although we would not claim that figure as an average, it will 
serve to prove the “bread and butter” characteristics of this 
Quality carnation. It has received a number of awards includ- 
ing the N.Y.F.C. Gold Medal.

NETTA. (Sim.) 
New Variety 1947-48 Season. 
Light pink seedling from a cross of two unnamed varieties. 
The color is the loveliest delicate shade of light pink, much 
richer and softer than Virginia, and more nearly resembles the 
color of Light Pink Maytime. The flower is large and full, larger 
than Hercules Virginia, of greater substance, and has a most 
attractive form. The petals are not as deeply fringed as Vir- 
ginia. The calyx rarely splits. The plant is large, bushy, clean, 
and a vigorous grower. The stem is sturdy and is longer than 
that of Virginia. The Keeping Quality is Excellent, and the 
variety ships perfectly.
