Black Knight (I. D.) 1935— 
We are unable to find a color in Ridgeway’s color chart that 
matches the color of this giant dahlia. The nearest we can 
come to it is dark velvety maroon, almost black. The flow¬ 
ers are of great size, often up to 14 inches in diameter, and 
are held high above the foliage on thick, stiff stems. In the 
early part of the season, most of the blooms face upward, 
later most of them face front. Plant is a very strong grow¬ 
er, attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet, wide spreading and 
prolific of bloom, from early season until frost. A spectac¬ 
ular dahlia. PLANTS, EACH, $3.75

A salmon pink semi-cactus miniature, extra good. On 1934

Cavalcade (F. D.) 1935— 
A formal of an old rose or mulberry pink. A commercial 
variety which looks like the best of its type since the in¬ 
troduction of Jersey Beauty. Stems without an equal and a 
plant that does not seem to have a flaw, We watched this 
growing this summer. It sure can not be beat as a cut 
flower. Jake Groll, of Fenton is originator of this good 
one. PLANTS, $5.00
