Elite Sport 
ELITE SPORT (Dahliadel 85), FD, 1935, g e, Bloom 9x5, Bush 4J/ 2 ft. A positive sport of Elite 
Glory, inheriting such good qualities as rugged growth with insect resistant foliage, strong steins, with the 
bloom an exact counterpart, except in color, which is a soft buff, striped and speckled crimson, making a 
very striking appearance in the garden or when exhibited. This unique coloring does not fade or burn in 
the sun. Sports'usually revert to the original variety to a more or less degree. True to tradition, this 
reverts about one in ten, also occasionally throws a solid red bloom with a part of the bush blooming as 
described above. Owing to this uncertainty, we are introducing this variety far below introductory prices 
of similar dahlias so that you may grow a couple of hills and be assured of having the true Elite Sport. 
Roots, $4.00; Plants, $2.00
