VICTORY (Asther, 1940) 
Is called a salmon-pink by the originator. It has a long stem 
and the flower is held well above the bush. There are not 
many in this pink formal class and this one should be a com¬ 
petitor to those we now have. The blooms I saw were nine 
inches in diameter. The bush height is about 4% feet.

is rich bittersweet. Free bloomer but we regret it is a rather 
poor root maker.
