Netta. (Sim Carnation Co.). Booking orders for 1948-49. 
Light pink seeding 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 May- 
time. 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 irginia. 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. Restricted for Three Years (to Dec. 1950). Sold 
out for this season.
