Springfield. An improvement over the variety Countess of 

 Lonsdale, which for many years was considered one of the very

 which it is an exact duplicate in size and shape. The 

 flowers are large and full. Color spectrum-red; an 

 unusual color in Dahlias. The base of the petals is 

 lemon-yellow. It is unsurpassed for garden decora-

 reds in cultivation. $2.00 each.
