ered variety with a

that of Olivette, but larger. Production is excellent. Stems are

is good. Plants are clean and vigorous. 
$22.00 per 100; $180.00 per 1000. 
*TILLY. A cross of two unnamed seedlings. A maroon with just 
enough red to give color life and prevent it appearing dead and 
black under artificial light, as is the case with many maroons. This 
variety was selected from several very promising maroons, as the 
best. The color is similar to that of Mrs. Weld, but the variety is 
superior to Weld in almost every respect. Production is above aver- 
age. Flowers are full and of good size. There is practically no 
splitting. Blooms keep well and do not turn black along edges. 
Stems are long and strong. $22.00 per 100; $180.00 per 1000. 
Mamie Eisenhower 
One of the most unusual Carnations ever disseminated. The red 
markings against the white background are in a blotched irregular 
manner, producing one of the most outstanding color contrasts. 
The flowers can be arranged in any combinations with any other 
flower. This Carnation has been acclaimed the best selling bloom 
in every market that it has been shipped to. It is a sport of 
William Sim, with more vigorous growth and larger blooms. The 
demand for these blooms has taken it completely out of the novelty 
class. This is a tried and proven variety that can be grown with 
confidence. Price: $20.00 per 100; $150.00 per 1000.
