like crepe paper. We have had 12-inch flowers, but 
they are not the average. Continuity of bloom does 
not decrease their size materially. 
COLOR. Brilliant, dazzling, glowing balls of deep 
orange is the appearance from a distance, a color 
which catches the eye and draws you to its irresist¬ 
ible beauty. Close examination but increases your 
admiration. The color is cadmium orange overlaid 
with scarlet; center and reverse heavily shaded scar¬ 
let. So far as we know there is no other dahlia with 
the beautiful color of Oriental Glory. 
ROOTS. Oh! the pleasure of lifting clumps of big, 
healthy, strong necked roots. No need for kid gloves 
here. We have carried clumps of roots by an indi¬ 
vidual root with no damage. Eyes are slow to start 
in the spring, but come in profusion when they do, 
and are placed so low on the stalk as to appear to 
be on the roots themselves. 
INSECT REPULSION is the best term we can apply 
to the manner in which Oriental Glory acts towards 
these pests of the dahlia garden. Spraying is an un¬ 
necessary procedure, though we do it as a matter of 
insect extermination. Long gaps in spraying periods 
have shown no ill effects from insect ravages, while 
adjacent plants were not so fortunate. We attribute 
the continuous growth of this dahlia largely to its re¬ 
sistance. 
THE ACID TEST for any dahlia, new or old, is how 
it will grow in your garden. Oriental Glory has been 
grown in the dahlia gardens of a dozen local grow¬ 
ers for two seasons; gardens which represent at least 
six different types of soil. These growers without ex¬ 
ception are unstinting in their praise of its many 
qualities. The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx 
Park, L. I., N. Y., asked to be permitted to grow it 
this season, to which we gladly consented. As a fur¬ 
ther test we placed it in the World's Fair Dahlia 
Garden, grown under the management of the Cen¬ 
tral States Dahlia Society in the fair grounds at Chi¬ 
cago. So far we have had no ill reports.
