in 1933, arrived in perfect condition, and lasted four days

ago and exhibited and First Prize won by an Amateur for 
Largest Flower at World’s Fair in 1934. KAWEAFI is 
named for one of our mountain peaks in the Fligh Sierras 
in California. It has everything: huge size, splendid long, 
strong, straight stem, wonderfully rich color, fuchsia rose, 
rich velvety cardinal shading at center of petals, towards 
center of flowers, with reverse of orchid and lavender. It 
has fine form and substance, and splendid keeping qualities. 
First flowers have been 13^2 to 16^2 inches, with great 
depth, late flowers 10 to 12 inches. These tremendous 
blooms are held perfectly erect on very long, straight stiff 
stems, 18 to 24 inches to first lateral, requiring very little 
disbudding, one lateral being sufficient. As many as 4 and 
even 8 enormous blooms at one time on a bush. Have 
been informed there is a lot of poor, over-propagated stock 
on the market at very low prices; beware. 
Mr. Warwick S. Carpenter of the American Home 
says: ’“Unquestionably one of the Most Sensational Dahlias 
of recent years, due both to its size and also to its general 
character. In a room full of Dahlias, it arrests the eye by 
size, shape and bearing.” “It is still strongly holding its 
own.” Exceptional Prize Winning Stock. Roots only—$5.00.
