This new decorative dahlia is indeed a Dahlia of Distinction 
and one of the best of my many originations. It combines all the 
good qualities of a modern first-class dahlia. Upright, vigorous 
growth reaching a height of from 5 to 6 feet. Stems and trunk 
dark metallic shade. Stems very long and wiry holding the 
gorgeous flower in perfect position. Flowers range from 7-9 
inches in diameter. By disbudding much larger. The color is a 
unique shading not often seen in a flower and one difficult to 
properly describe. Perhaps violet-lavender would be near to its 
color. Yet it has a shading of old rose and amber at the base of 
the petals. A strikingly handsome flower. Strong roots, $5.00 each.
