ever grew, regardless of color. We had 
blooms over 13 in. across and 9 in. deep with¬ 
out any forcing. The formation is wonder¬ 
ful, etc., etc.” 
Mr. F. A. Summers, Parkersburg, W. Va.: 
‘‘Lord of Autumn is the best yellow I ever saw. 
I displayed it at the Tri-State Show in Ports¬ 
mouth, Ohio, and it stopped the Show. At¬ 
tracted more attention than all the rest of 
the Show, etc.” 
Mr. E. A. Pitts, Villa Circle, Va., writes: 
“Lord of Autumn is the best yellow Dahlia I 
ever saw. It has immense size, beautiful 
color, a cane stiff stem and what’s more, it 
has ‘flash’ that stands right out and hits you 
in the face.” 
Mrs. A. N. Ayers, Raleigh, N. C., said: 
“Lord of Autumn is the most wonderful 
Dahlia I ever grew of any color. The color 
is the most beautiful yellow I ever saw, stems 
are perfect and always in bloom, everybody 
wanted it.” 
Mr. Derrill W. Hart in American Home 
says: “A great yellow was Lord of Autumn. 
Watch for this as a specimen bloom winner 
next year. Size, color and good form in this 
giamt Dahlia; it is among the first four or five 
in size.” He might have said leads the first 
four or five in size. The faintest praise any 
visitor to our Gardens gave it was: “It is 
wonderful.” Those who don’t care for yel¬ 
low Dahlias said: “I must have this one,” 
etc., etc. 
I was strongly urged not to advance the 
price on this Dahlia January 1st but call has 
been so persistent I am absolutely obliged to 
do so or refuse orders entirely. Strong di¬ 
visions $20 each. Plants $7.50 each. 
GIANT GLORY OF THE DAWN, S. C. An¬ 
other giant yellow, slightly lighter in shade 
than Lord of Autumn, but entirely different 
in formation. Grows 12 in. without forcing 
but not very deep and the very long and very 
narrow petals (it is almost a cactus) are 
twisting and ends slightly incurved which 
makes the formation extremely beautiful and 
unusual. Does not fade, burn, nor is it in¬ 
jured by heavy rains. Plant very robust and 
grows to 5 or 6 ft. in height. Stem good. 
Also immune from insect damage. Won as 
Largest Dahlia in the Shaw at Tacoma, Wash. 
Roots $10, 3 for $25. Plants $4.50, 3 for $12.
