Forest Fire 
FOREST FIRE (Dahliadel 86), ID, 1935, c g e, Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 4 / 2 ft. The most spectacular of 
any dahlia we have ever grown. In the bi-color classes this variety should have a wonderful future, as our 
interpretation of a bi-color dahlia is one having two distinct colors on the face of the petal. Forest Fire 
has distinct lemon yellow for about one-third the length of the petals, then shaded to rich scarlet toward 
the tips enhanced by clear yellow petaloids. This variety is a rather stocky grower but can be very nicely 
handled by following Drawing Y. This will keep the blooms sufficiently above the foliage under all grow¬ 
ing conditions. Certified at Storrs, Conn., 1934, 85.5, and at East Lansing, Michigan, 85, we can recom¬ 
mend this novelty to you as the most distinctive dahlia introduced in years. The crowds were attracted to 
it in our display wherever we exhibited. Roots, $10.00; Plants, $5.00
