TRY A PACKAGE OF OUR SUPER DAHLIA SEED 
OLIVE WRIGHT (Inf. Dec.) “V. 6s? M.”—A magnificent orange with yellow at the 
base of each petal. The flowers are large and borne in great profusion, the petals 
are long and broad, the center ones forming a high center, while the outer petals 
whirl and twist in a most enhancing manner, making the flower a very attractive 
as well as very striking one to look at, and are held facing sideways on strong, 
'stiff stems, well above the heavy, insect-resistant foliage. Bush height about five 
feet. Roots, #1.00 
ON PARADE 
ON PARADE (Hybrid Show) “McDowell-Parkway”-—This is one of the sensations of 
the dahlia world, and one that will make one rub his eyes to be sure he is awake, 
for imagine seeing a show dahlia of seven inches and over. Well, ON PARADE 
is all of this and then more. Color a bright, clear lavender, slightly tinted lilac, 
the flowers easily average seven inches, and with a little disbudding or forcing, can 
be grown much larger. The flowers are held facing sideways on long, strong, stiff, 
sturdy stems, well above the large, heavy, insect-resistant foliage of the tall, vigorous 
growing plant. The flowers attract one clear across the field by their attractiveness 
and the bold way in which they are held. They were very much admired by all 
who saw them at our gardens as well as at our displays at the Peekskill and New 
York shows, where they created a sensation. We have decided to release a few 
plants of this variety so that they will make their acquaintance at the shows this 
coming season. The plant is a free and prolific bloomer and will attract as much 
attention as any other dahlia I know of. Plants only, #10.00
