THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



January, 1918 



A Most Unique Dahlia Novelty-- 



G. H. James 



ONCE in a great while it is the hybridizer's good fortune to evolve a 

 seedling that stands head and shoulders above all the rest in its 

 class. This I can truthfully claim for G. H. James, a magnificent Peony- 

 flowered sort with many superb characteristics. Its size is immense. 

 Color, light creamy, with very waxy appearance. Reverse side of petals 

 clouded cerise. The broad, flat petals taper abruptly to sharp points.
