We iiave received flowers of this fine new carnation, to be disseminated in 1908 by Stevenson Bros., Govans- town, Baltimore, Md. It is a seed- ling from Lawson and a great improve- ment on this well known old kind in habit and stem. The color is a beauti- ful clear pink, a shade lighter than that of Lawson that shows up well either by day or under artificial light. The va- riety blooms early and continuously and [he strong never bursts. The firm, in fact, guarantees this latter qualifica- tion. The flowers average about three and one quarter inches, some being larger than this. A great point in its favor is the fact that with the increasing light and heat in summer it maintains its fine color. It is also very prolific, producing no small grass, every shoot flowering, and it is a non-cropper. Splendor be- longs not to the fancy exhibition varie- ties, but to the money-makers. Steven- son Bros, have had it under observation for four seasons, and_ each year in- creases their good opinion of it. Many advance orders have been received for it and, without any great flourish, it looks like taking its place among the best of the commercial sorts. Carnations Unsatisfactory. Ed.
