BLACK KNIGHT. I. D. (Kemp). We are 
unable to find a color in Ridgeway’s color 
chart that matches the color of this giant 
dahlia. The nearest we can come to it is dark 
velvety maroon, almost black. The flowers 
are of great size, often up to 14 inches in 
diameter, and are held high above the foliage 
on thick stiff stems. Plant is a very strong 
grower, attaining to a height of 6 to 7 feet, 
wide spreading and prolific of bloom, from' 
early season until frost. A spectacular dahlia 
of unusual interest and attracted as much at¬ 
tention in our garden the past season as any 
dahlia among the dozens we had on trial.

BOSPHORUS. I. D. (Ballay). Deep burnt 
orange or golden brown. A fine, large, well 
shaped flower in a color that is new in our 
experience. It is a dark flower, almost as 
deep in the orange tone in the body of the 
flower as maroon is to red, but shades to a 
lighter orange at the edges of the petals. We 
recommend this Dahlia on its color, but it is 
charming and satisfactory in all respects. It 
will have a long straight stem and will be im¬ 
mensely attractive when cut. Certificate of 
Merit at Storrs. Plants only, $4.
