perfect in form, grand in appearance and immense in size. 
The color of this acquisition is remarkable and attracts every- 
body’s attention. It is a superb combination of brilliant scarlet 
and gold with an exquisite ring of rich, clear yellow at the 
center. Occasionally the first flower comes fully double, but 
all that follow show that beautiful golden center which com- 
bines to make this flower the most charming. Its form is very

ence. Stock limited of this acquisition. 50 cents.

entirely outclass all other Dahlias for cut flowers. Keep each 
variety when cut in a separate vase. Price, except where noted,
