Ethel Scrivener. Introduction of 1921. This new variety should 



be grown by every exhibitor of the Cactus Dahlia. It is the 

 truest exhibition type, having long, slim, incurved petals and 

 very large. The color is a very pleasing shade of light 

 creamy yellow J-00

 duced and are of exceptional size. Very wiry 1.00

Pink Abundance (Sec front cover). This is a seedling which I f 

 think will be highly appreciated for commercial cut flower 

 purposes on account of its very free blooming habit, and ex- 

 tremely wiry growth. This has been for the past two years 

 one of the first plants in my garden to bloom, and the plants 

 are completely covered until frost. Color is mallow pink with 

 white shadings. Very fine incurved form Awarded certificate 

 of merit at the A. D. S. trial gardens in 1920 1.50
