The above photograph is an unnamed seedling grown from our 
new type decorative ball seed. The flower on the left is a side 
view, the center bloom is a rear view and the one on the right is a 
front view. Note the long, stiff stem, the distance to the first set 
of leaves and best of all we have had some of these keep eight 
days after cutting. The center bloom measures six and one-half 
inches in diameter. We won a blue ribbon on this variety at one 
of our shows this year as the best individual dahlia in the show.
