CARNATIONS ARE EASY TO GROW 
In 1938 Mr. Felsing started to grow carna- 
tions as a hobby without any idea of commer- 
cializing carnation plants. At the beginning he 
raised beautiful plants and flowers of the well- 
known common varieties, some solid colors and 
some variegated. His garden and small green 
house were the point of interest of all his neigh- 
borhood. Not content with raising the ordinary 
carnations, he set up a small laboratory in which 
he experimented and by scientific planting, pro- 
pagating, crossing and fertilizing he was suc- 
cessful in developing new and unusually beau- 
tiful blooms, never before shown anywhere. 
These new carnations from then on became 
“The Felsing’s Rare Carnations.” 
Having been approached by so many carna- 
tion lovers as well as commercial growers the 
firm of Felsing’s Rare Carnation Gardens was 
born. 
From 1941 on Felsing’s Carnation Gardens 
have enjoyed a most prolific patronage from 
both the retail as well as the wholesale trade. 
Today Felsing’s Carnation Gardens boast of 
having the largest collection of carnation plants 
in the world, comprising over 350 different var- 
ieties. More varieties are created every season in 
order to keep up the interest and enthusiasm of 
Felsing’s numerous clientele. 
We reserve the right to substitute if out of 
certain varieties.
