CARNATION CUTTING Pxcce Lear 1948 
The phrase ‘‘Denver Grown” has always signified QUALITY wherever Carnations have been grown. Here, in the 
high, cool summers of the Rockies—and the bright, sunny days of the winter—the Carnation attains its greatest vigor and 
vitality. CLIMATE plays a very important part in the production of most crops. This is especially true of Carnations. 
The Denver area possesses the favorable climatic conditions for the production of quality Carnations. 
There are, however, factors other than favorable climate that contribute to the successful production of Carnations. 
Every progressive grower wants to know: 
—that the cuttings were selected from disease-free stock; 
—that the stock plants were rogued for uniformity of color and habit of growth; 
-that a rigid and regular insecticide program was followed; 
—that the varieties have been tested commercially and are outstanding; 
—that the cuttings did not become hard in the propagating media; 
—that the old practice of taking cuttings from the cut flower stem at the grading table was eliminated years ago. 
The Park-Elitch Company assures you that the cuttings listed in this folder have been produced by our growers 
in accordance with the factors listed above. Our policy of QUALITY—not PRICE—is your protection. Your order will 
be rooted especially for you. Specify the date you wish your order to be shipped. All orders will be filled in rotation 
unless shipping date is specified.

preme in habit of growth and color. Flowers are large, 
full...excellent substance. Stems are long, sufficiently 
strong to support the flower. Highest productivity of all 
the Spectrums. Does not become grassy in the Spring.

in the Denver area. 
Donna Lee Supreme won many awards at the American 
Carnation Society Show in Chicago, 1947. License to

“ELITCH”’ 
A beautiful, soft medium pink seedling. Parents: Bos- 
ton Ward and Gardenia. Flower is large, full centered— 
stems of medium length. Some splitting occurs on first 
Fall flowers. Elitch has none of the faults of either par- 
ent. Possesses excellent keeping and shipping qualities.

sults are obtained by cutting it low.)

mercial carnation. Sale of cuttings is restricted under
