garnet with silver shadings on edges of petals. A 
rich and beautiful combination of colors .45 
Tlios. A. Edison, F. D.— This gorgeous Dahlia, select¬ 
ed and named by permission of the famous electri¬ 
cal wizard, has had its good share of winnings the 
past season in the West as well as in the East. In 
the garden it is impressive with its staghorn petal 
formation, the large, dark green, insect-resistant 
foliage, cane-stiff stems, thrifty growth, and great¬ 
est of all, that color, found in no other Dahlia, 
which is as hard to describe as to reproduce in col¬ 
or. It may be described as a royal purple .50 
Uncle Tom, F. D.— This Dahlia was placed on the 
Dahlia Roll of Honor in the December issue of the

rich and impressive color. It is deep garnet, almost 
black, as rich as the finest velvet in texture” .31
