ZEUS Decorative-Paeony. The illustration gives only the form of this largest and most wonderful of all Dahlias.

tipped yellow. A giant without a trace of heaviness. So artistically built and richly colored that it attracts, it holds, 
it fascinates. The plant is medium dwarf, 3 to 4 ft. high, as we grow it in field; strong, sturdy, healthy and vigorous. 
A free and continuous bloomer. Strong plants ready May 1st. $7.50 each. A few roots until exhausted $15.00 each.
