gold and amber, and deepening in the large, full 
center to a rich, dark, reddish bronze . 24

heavy, stiff stems. Begins blooming early and con¬ 
tinues until the end of the season . 34

one of the requisites; it is also of great merit for 
its beautiful color, being an apricot with golden 
shadings .20

of Eastern varieties. In color a pale gold, shaded 
and tipped with old rose . 26

ing, even under most unfavorable conditions .23 
City of Trenton, I. D.—An Autumn colored Dahlia de¬
