WHAT THE PRESS SAYS 



From the SEW YORK TRIBLSB 



Sept. 26, 1907. 



At ths Dahlia Show at the American 



Institute Exhibit. 



Probably the most striking 

 of the new Dahlia specimens is 

 a brilliant j-ellow, its round 

 blossom as large as the head 

 of a baby, from the Charles 

 Lanier Estate at Lenox. 



Standing high and proud on 

 their long stems in a huge vase 

 in the centre of a table, these 

 magnificent blossoms caused 

 audible exclamations as they 

 caught the eyes of the visitors. 

 This is their debut in New 

 York, although they were re- 

 cently shown in Boston. 



From tbe NEW YORK TIMES 



Sept. 27, 1907. 

 Newest Specimens at the Bahlia Show. 



The most noticeable blossom 

 was a big Charles Lanier which 

 is known as the " show " 

 dahlia. It is the old-fashioned 

 quilled flower but of a mam- 

 moth size and beautiful 

 vellow color. ThLs was raised 

 Jay A. H. Wingett on the estate 

 of Charles Lanier, Lenox. 

 Mass , and named for the pro- 

 prietor. Mr. Wingett has been 

 at work developing the plant 

 for the last three or four years, 

 and it has now been awarded 

 first prize and a certifirate, 

 which is a scientific sanction 

 of it as a new flower. 



The Charles Lanier dahlia 

 probably will be sold before 

 the exhibition closes and should 

 bring a good price, for it stands 

 alone in it? class.

 finest exhibition of dahlias 

 ever given in America. 



The sensation of the show is 

 A. H. Wingett's Charles Lanier, 

 a four-year-old, deep yellow in 

 color, which may be appro- 

 priately described the Col. 

 Appleton of the dahlias.
