sion on the back side of petals. The general 
color is brilliant coral pink with a primrose 
background. A true informal decorative of 
large size, held well above the foliage on strong 
stems. Winner of the American Home achieve¬ 
ment Medal, Camden, N. J., 1933, and winner 
in the single bloom classes at Red Bank and 
Brooklyn. A headliner on the 1933 American

MURPHY'S MASTERPIECE— ID (Murphy). Red, 
red as the reddest rose. Enormous in size and 
depth; never have we seen a flower that even 
remotely approached it as we have grown it. 
Stately, excellent, strong, but slender stems that 
could easily stand twice the weight of this tre¬ 
mendous bloom. The foliage is absolutely hated 
by the whole winged tribe that is so fatal to 
many of our most beautiful flowers and plants. 
The bugs do not touch the blooms, probably 
realizing the utter hopelessness of the task of 
devouring such a gigantic creation. Even the 
sun itself has declared a truce with this giant, 
the foremost of all Mr. Murphy's originations. 
Its show record is sensational, and it received 
its certificate of merit at Storr's and the Amer¬ 
ican Home Achievement Medal at Boston in the 
New England show in 1932. Again in 1933 this 
magnificent flower won in the large bloom 
classes all over the country. This is the big red 
dahlia we have dreamed of.
