Introductions of 1914 



Champion. According to the general experience of all who have 

 grown it, this new scarlet has lived up to the predictions of the intro- 

 ducers. It is very bright in color, beautifully formed, and has shown 

 itself to be of vigorous habit and a big producer.

 Gorgeous. This is the " American Beauty " of the Carnation family.

 son suffused with brilliant vermilion.
