red, with a velvet texture, a richer color has seldom been seen in any dahlia. We 
had many blooms over ten inches across and six inches deep. The blooms are com' 
posed of long, broad petals with a slight twist near the tips, that further enhances 
this great flower, the blooms are held facing sideways, on stout stems. During the

during the cooler weather of Fall they make up for this by their profusion of bloom 
and sheer beauty. Height four to five feet. Roots, 75c

held facing sideways, on the best of stems. Plant five feet high. Roots, 50c

are set to look you right in the face, and are held erect on the best of stems, well

to win. Plants about 5 feet high. Roots, $1.00

bloomer, the plant always being covered with blooms. A strong, vigorous grower,

be without it. Roots, $1.50
