The New Dahlia “Millionaire” 
{Decorative Type — 1916 Introduction) 
A Monster Dahlia 
that has already caught 
the fancy of Dahlia con- 
noisseurs wherever 
shown. This wonderful 
flower is remarkably 
large, and cannot be sur- 
passed in daintiness of 
colorings in the most del- 
icate of lavender with a 
faint pink cast overshad- 
ing it. The depth of this 
flower and the number 
of large, finely shaped 
petals in its formation 
has never been equalled 
in any Dahlia. The full- 
ness of the centre of this 
flower is very remark- 
able, as the immediate 
centre of this flower, 
when it is perfectly ma- 
tured, is a pure white 
and the flower can be 
preserved until all of the 
lavender petals wither away 
and the whole flower be- 
comes white. Another very 
unusual feature of this 
Dahlia is that the immense 
heavy flower stands erect 
on its stems. A novelty worth trying. I was awarded a Gold Medal on “The Million- 
aire,” by the ^hode Island Horticultural Society at their Dahlia Show, September, 1916.
