new, mon- 
ster decora- 
tive dahlia for 1916. 
This beautiful, new 
dahlia is one of my 
latest productions, 
put on the market 
for the first time this 
year. It possesses 
the most exquisite 
colors, perfect in 
form, of great size, 
and is borne on very 
long, upright stems 
as shown in the il- 
lustration. It is a 
striking and beauti- 
fully toned cerise in 
the main body color- 
ing with slight veins 
of white, almost 
cream, running 
through the petals. 
Prominent clouded tips 
make a decidedly new and 
altogether forcible _addi- 
tion to the whole flower. 
This new novelty should 
be seen to be fully appre- 
ciated. It is impossible to 
describe all the quality 
combinations in this new 
production. The plants 
possess the much desired 
cut-flower qualities, long jointed stalks with slight foliage and very long flower stems. It 
grows to a good height and is a profuse bloomer.
