BAGDAD (Inf. Dec.) “Redfern”—An immense flower of flaming scarlet red, borne well 
above the tall growing bush, on very strong stiff stems, the blooms are held facing

ally large stock of it, and for this reason am letting them go at. Roots, $0.50

by its unique coloring. Bush about four feet high. Roots, $1.00

dahlia ever to be sent from England, and from watching it growing the past sea¬ 
son,, it has lived up to all that I had expected from it. The blooms which are 
of fair size, and good depth, are of a fine lilac rose color, and held facing sideways, 
on exceptionally strong stems, and an excellent keeper when cut. Plant about 4 feet 
high very vigorous grower. Plants only, $3.00
