Saugus Piuk 
This is a cross of two unnamed seedlings, and is in its fourth year. The color is a 
soft, deep pink with no blue or cerise . . not as dark as Sidney Littlefield, but deeper 
than the rose pink varieties. The color is quite uniform through the season, bleaching a 
little during prolonged dark weather, and is at its best when the days are long and bright. 
The flowers are large (4 inches in diameter), full and rounded. They are excellent keep- 
ers. There is no splitting. Production is heavy and steady, and the variety will produce 
nearly twice as many blooms as Sidney Littlefield. The stem is of good length and strong. 
This variety scored 93 points and received an Award of Merit at the New 
England New Variety Day in December, where it was scored by some of the 
best judges in the country. This score was equalled by only one other of 
the nearly 100 new varieties shown. It scored 8614 points at the American 
Carnation Society Exhibition in New York in February where it was awarded 
a Certificate of Merit and won the New England award for the best new variety. 
Featured with the other three varieties we are offering, the group was awarded 
a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at the Spring Flower 
Show in Boston in March, the only such award made to carnations. 
Gordou 
This is a cross of Sidney Littlefield on Princess Irene. The color is a delicate shell 
pink, similar to the old variety Exchantress. The edges are slightly lighter than the cent- 
ers, making a very attractive color. The flowers are very large (3'% to 41% inches in 
diameter), full and symmetrical. The keeping quality is splendid. Stems are of medium 
length, and strong. There is a brief period of very slight splitting in the fall, but this is 
of short duration, and is of no consequence. There is no splitting at all at other times. 
Production is above average, and is high for such a large flower. 
This variety scored 87 points and received an Award of Merit at the New Eng- 
land New Variety Day. It also scored 86 points at the American Carnation 
Society Exhibition in New York where it was awarded a Certificate of Merit. 
The grower who is testing this variety in California writes: ““A very attractive 
shell pink color. The color holds much better than that of Pink Sim in bright 
weather. It is also a much better keeper than Pink Sim. I would truly say 
that this is a MUST variety in light pink.” 
Cauary Lucen 
This is a cross of two unnamed seedlings. It is a bright lemon or canary yellow. 
If you live in an area where there is prolonged dark weather, there will be a slight pale 
pink variegation in the petal during the winter, but this faint variegation does not detract 
from the color, nor spoil it as a clear yellow. [n bright, sunny areas, it is a clear yellow 
at all times, The flowers are large, full amd beautifully formed. There is no splitting. 
Stems are very long. The plants are not bushy, but production is good. The keeping 
quality is unsurpassed. 
This variety scored 88 points and received an Award of Merit at the New Eng- 
land New Variety Day. Because we have cut back most of our plants to build 
up stock to enable us to meet the heavy demands for this variety, we have not 
had as many flowers of it as we would have liked to show around the country. 
It has attracted a lot of favorable attention in our greenhouses, and nearly 
everyone who has seen it has ordered cuttings. The variety is being grown in 
Denver, and although we have had no written report on it from that area, we 
do have orders for thousands of cuttings of it from Denver growers, and that 
is the finest testimonial a variety could receive. We are told that in the Denver 
area the variety shows no variegation at all.
