Golden Sonne 
GOLDEN SONNE (De Wilde 85), c g e, Bloom 
7x4, Bush 3 ft. This variety is one of the best 
yellow commercial Cactus dahlias grown. It not

for most any use, but continues throughout the sea¬

and keep wonderfully well either on the bush or 
when cut. Color, clear golden yellow, shading to 
soft salmon rose on the outside petals. A dahlia we 
can heartily recommend. Roots, .50; Plants, .50

for the market. Bush growth and stem 
excellent. Roots, .50; Plants, .50

CAMDEN DAHLIA SOCIETY 
At the Camden Show the Seedling or Undissemi¬ 
nated Classes were again the outstanding feature, 
and to our mind these classes were the best we had 
the privilege of visiting or judging. This Dahlia Society 
bids fair to exceed in these classes for a third time 
this year when they will hold their Show on October 
4th and 5th, This Show also had the finest arrange¬ 
ment classes of any we saw last year, and we feel that 
there is especial significance in the fact that dahlias 
won in a number of the arrangement classes over all 
other garden flowers. Orchid Flowering types won in 
two important garden flower classes, showing the pos¬ 
sibilities of this new type. Much credit is due the 
members of this Society for their initiative in showing 
the public the real uses of the dahlia.
