“William G.”—A Delightful Different Dahlia 
"William G."—Very Unusual and Lovely 
(Hybrid Cactus.) Flowers very large, with petals rather narrow, thickly set, and consider¬ 
ably twisted, giving the appearance of having just had a marcel. Color mostly henna or red 
tones, with suffusion of apricot. Some blooms show more of the apricot than others. Blos¬ 
soms ideal in form. The fantastic petals, and coloring, very remarkable and charming. TRY 
THIS: Cut a fully opened blossom with little or no stem. Place in low bowl or dish. Let 
water in dish contact entire back of blossom. Note the effect. Will last for days. Each 50c.

Edna Ferber 
A hybrid cactus of huge size, with petals curled and twisted to make a very 
full flower. Its color—a glistening coral shading to old gold at the base of 
the petals—makes it one of the first to attract attention, both in the field and at the 
shows. Each 50c. 
TO KEEP DAHLIAS HEALTHY: Watch your plants closely. If the leaves turn brown¬ 
ish, or curl, or if the buds seem to blast, spray the plants well several times with some tobacco 
solution (Black Leaf 40 very good). Chances are that aphis, lice or tiny red spiders are at 
work. Dashing plants frequently with water from hose also helps. Don’t wait too long—do 
the pests before they do the plants.
