The dahlia roots and plants ordered from you last 
spring arrived O.K. They were FINE plants ... You 
should see Satan right now — it has 7 blooms, 12" diam¬ 
eter, and is 8 ft. tall. Nobody around here has ever seen 
such a dahlia plant. People come from all around to take 
pictures of it. Girl of Hillcrest is also very good. They 
sure are “top notchers.” We received Sweepstakes Trophy 
in the amateur class at Minnesota Dahlia Show and Trophy 
for 10 best blooms.

IDA ELIZABETH, I. D. (86), LL., 5 to 6 ft. 
An extra fine origination of Parker Hume Dahlia Gar¬ 
dens. A wonderful clear yellow bloom on a strong grow¬ 
ing bush. Long stiff stems that carry the great blooms 
way above the coarse foliage. It looked especially good 
to Mr. Eldredge, editor of the Mid West Dahlia News, 
on a visit to our gardens the week of the dahlia show. 
A great propagator and root maker. 
Plants $ .75 Roots $1.50 
IMPERIAL PINK, I. D. (90), LL., 5 to 6 ft. 
Color a true pink with primrose shadings and rose pink 
center. The blooms are graceful and artistic of good size 
and depth, held erect on the best of long stiff and cane¬ 
like stems. A gorgeous and imposing dahlia that is a 
strong, vigorous grower and a prize winner and should be 
in every garden. A late bloomer, plant early. 
Plants Only $ .50 
INDIANA MOON, I. D. (89), LL., 6 to 7 ft. 
Color is flesh ocher with faint lines of spinel pink running 
through some of the petals. 12-in. blooms on 3-ft. stems 
are easv to obtain on a 6-ft. bush. This was one of the 
outstanding varieties in our garden and was an attraction 
to every visitor and grower. Every bush had 5 and 6 
mammoth blooms out at all times and it is insect-proof. 
Don’t be without it. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $1.00
