W. W. WILMORE, DAHLIA SPECIALIST 
Pride of Fort Morgan 
This Giant Red Decorative was introduced 4 years ago by R. J. 
Curry of Fort Morgan, Colo. Was originated, as I understand, by 
J. W. Phlager. Whatever its origin or parentage, it is a wonder¬ 
ful dahlia and proved the center of attraction of our dahlia 
show. Stock which we grew the past season proves the claims of 
its introducer that it is the largest and best red Decorative of the 
dahlia world. The specimen from which the above photo was taken 
measured 9 % inches without disbudding. Disbudded it would 
doubtless reach the 10 to 13 inches claimed by the originator. 
Color, a most intense red. Plant, a sturdy grower. Stems, medium 
length, holding the flower erect. Strong tubers, 50c. Height 4 feet.
