awarded the Achievement Medal in 
1928 as the best new Dahlia originated west of the Rocky Moun¬ 
tains. Originator’s statement of it being the largest and finest pure 
rose-pink ever produced, is absolutely a fact from what we have 
seen of this Dahlia the past season. We also find this variety to he 
an exceptionally good keeper as a cutflower. Honestly, the largest 
and most beautiful of all old rose colored Dahlias we know of. $2.00.
