Forest Fire 
FOREST FIRE (Dahliadel 8GE), ID, 1935, Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 4l/^> ft. The most spectacular of any 
dahlia we have ever grown but does its best in cool weather. This year it did wonderful from the 
middle of September, giving us six weeks of real blooms. Forest Fire is distinct lemon yellow for 
about one-third the length of the petals, then shaded to rich scarlet toward the tips enhanced by 
clear yellow petaloids. This variety is a rather stocky grower but can be very nicely handled by fol¬ 
lowing Drawing Y. This will keep the blooms sufficiently above the foliage under normal growing 
conditions. It will also stand partial shade and although a little longer coming into bloom the bushes 
are considerably taller, and the stems longer between nodes. Certified at Storrs, 1934, 85.5 and also 
at East Lansing, we can recommend this novelty to you as one of the most distinctive dahlias intro¬ 
duced in years. It attracts plenty of attention wherever exhibited. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50
