Each year we import many Euro- pean novelties for testing on our trial grounds and among others we received • a number of new geraniums some oi which were unnamed. We were sur- prised to find among the number a new color heretofore unknown in ger- aniums, being of a most beautiful vio- let or purplish crimson with a blue sheen over the surface.
