ARELDA LLOYD. I. D. This sport of the 
celebrated Jane Cowl lived up to our descrip¬ 
tion in every way the past season and noth¬ 
ing but the highest praise has come from 
those that grew it. The Mid-West Dahlia 
News comments on this variety, in compar¬ 
ing it with another sport of Jane Cowl ex¬ 
hibited at the Minnesota Dahlia Show. 
“ ‘Arelda Lloyd’ is more yellow. ‘Arelda 
Lloyd’ bids f^air to be as good as her parent, 
‘Jane Cowl.’” The best way to describe this 
Dahlia is to say it is just like Jane Cowl in 
habits in every way except color. It is des¬ 
cribed in the Trial Garden report as follows: 
“A deep soft shade of yellow with a slight 
flush of pink on ends of petals, reverse a clear 
yellow with pink veining.” The stems and 
habits are all that could be desired. If you 
liked that grand Dahlia Jane Cowl, you will 
like this one better which is a sport of Jane 
Cowl. Field grown stock guaranteed to make 
good. Div. $3; Plants $1.50.
