FIVE NEW VARIETIES 
By SIM 
Spicy Rose. A beautiful shade of vivid rose pink. A 
color lighter than that of Sidney Littlefield, but 
deeper and much brighter than that of Virginia 
Rose. The flower is medium large, and of very 
attractive form. Plants are strong and _ prolific. 
Stems are long. Splitting is very slight. Keeping 
quality is good. 
Butterscotch. Yellow-buff with slight pink tinting, but 
no lines or flaking, in center. Larger, strong, pro- 
lific plants. Long stiff stem at all times. The first 
flowers are very large and full. Splitting occurs in 
the autumn, but is negligible after that. It keeps 
splendidly. Is best grown in a warm location with 
all the light possible. 
Baby Bronze. Yellow or bronzy-buff with slight pink 
tinting, but no line or flaking, in the center, giving 
the bronzy appearance. The flower is medium to 
small, but full and of beautiful form. The stems 
are long and strong at all times. Plants are vigor- 
ous, and this is one of the most prolific varieties 
grown. There is no splitting. It keeps perfectly. 
Raspberry Ice. White petals almost completely over- 
laid with pale orchid or lavender, the color closely 
resembling that of raspberry sherbet. The flowers 
are medium large and of attractive form. Plants 
are bushy and prolific. Stems are long. Keeping 
quality is good. There is no splitting. 
Red Beauty. A scarlet, very similar in color, form 
and size to Wm. Sim. The stems are long and are

1952 INTRODUCTIONS 
By BAUR-STEINKAMP 
Janie. An excellent new salmon pink, a little lighter 
than Netta and larger. Janie was awarded the 
Dorner Memorial Medal (the highest award given 
a new variety) by the American Carnation Soci- 
ety at Dayton in 1951. The production and growth 
are good and there is every reason to believe 
that it will be widely grown within a short time. 
Sold under a three year grower’s agreement.
