Other Vartettes 
WHITE SIM. A sport of Wm. Sim, and unquestionably the leading white variety at the 
present time. The size and form of the flower are the same as of the parent variety. Other 
habits of growth are the same as those of Wm. Sim. This is a very profitable, prolific, easy- 
to-grow clear white. No restrictions. 
$15.00 and $125.00 
MRS. E. F. GUBA. A seedling bred by Dr. E. F. Guba of the Massachusetts Experimental 
Station. A spectacular variety. The petals are almond with deep pink edges and lines. The 
flower is very large, full, rounded and is a remarkable keeper. The first flowers are of med- 
ium size and appear slightly curled, but they open up perfectly, and keep to perfection. The 
size increases rapidly until the flower is one of the largest grown today. Flowers should be 
allowed to open well on plants. The slightly curled edge disappears as the size increases. 
Production is heavy. Although splitting will amount to 10-15% over the season, the variety 
will still produce 30 top grade blooms per square foot of bench. Stems are long. 
This variety received an Award of Merit and was declared to be the “‘hit of the show” at the 
New England Carnation Growers New Variety Day in December 1950. It scored 90 points, 
the highest of any variety, at the New York Florists’ Club Carnation Night in February 1951. 
It won a Certificate of Merit and scored 91 points at the American Carnation Society exhibi- 
tion in March 1951, and missed the ‘‘Best Variety in the Show” by one point. It is an unusual 
and outstanding variety. Sold under growing agreements until October 1953. 
$20.00 and $150.00 
WALTHAM PINK. Deep pink seedling also bred by Dr. E. F. Guba. The color is similar 
to that of Sidney Littlefield. Size is slightly smaller. Flowers are full, rounded and of nice 
form. Production is greater than that of Littlefield, and stems are longer. Splitting is rare. 
Some bleaching occurs during bright weather, but no more than with other gocd varieties of 
this color. The first flowers in late summer are of medium size, but they increase in size rap- 
idly. Flowers should be allowed to open well on the plants, except in strong, direct sunlight. 
Sold under growing agreements until October 1953. 
$20.00 and $150.00 
REGAL PINK. A light rose pink seedling also bred by Dr. Guba. It is a cross of Puritan 
and Helen Hussey, and the flower form is that of Puritan. The first flowers are rather small, 
but they increase steadily in size as the season advances. The color is a soft medium pink 
which becomes deeper as the season progresses. The color is deepest and brightest, and the 
size the largest, in the spring. Flowers should be allowed to open well on the plants. Stems 
are long and strong at all times. Some splitting occurs during the winter. Keeping quality is 
good. Plants are very bushy and prolific. Sold under growing agreements until October 1953. 
$20.00 and $150.00 
HARLEQUIN. Pale lavender or orchid petais with a few deep lavender or purple pencil 
lines. Flowers are of medium size. Stems are medium long and strong. Production is high. 
Keeping quality is good. There is no splitting. This is a very pretty and profitable novelty. 
No restrictions. 
$15.00 and $125.00 
FROSTED PAT. A sport of Patrician. White petals heavily overlaid with medium pink or 
rose flaking. A very pretty flower. The color varies during the season, but is always appeal- 
ing. Flowers are large and full. Stems are long and strong. Keeping quality is fine. Plants 
are bushy and productive. Splitting occurs during the winter. Although this is one of the 
older varieties, it has been so popular with our customers, and is so attractive, that we are 
offering it again. No restrictions. |
