MARK HANNA (Good & REESE, 1930)— A new decorative Dahlia that is without ques¬ 
tion the best red Dahlia on the market today. No Dahlia in our fields has ever attracted 
more attention, and elicited more worthy comment, than Mark Hanna. The flowers are 
of the same shade as the popular Ricard Geranium—brilliant vermilion red. The plant is 
sturdy and tall of growth. Mark Hanna easily attains a diameter of 12 to 13 inches across 
when properly grown, and with perfectly full center. Mark Hanna is a Dahlia that is des¬ 
tined to rank among the world’s finest. It is the par excellence of red Dahlias.

attention will produce blooms that will measure 12 inches. Plant is a strong, vigorous 
grower. We consider Monmouth Champion the most valuable new Dahlia introduced 
since Jane Cowl. Bv all means grow Monmouth Champion.
