Breeze Lawn. This is un- 

 questionably the ideal red 

 decorative Dahlia, and /_^^——^~--. 

 though it originated some 

 • five years ago, it has only / 



been introduced in a very 

 limited manner. Its flowers, 

 while very large, frequently over eight inches 

 in diameter, are not at all coarse, but have a 

 refinement along with its rich color, an intense 

 fiery-red that is lacking in many other popular 

 varieties. One of the earliest and most con- 

 tinuous bloomers. Plants ready April 25th. $1.50 each.
