FOREST FIRE (Dahliadel). An informal decorative of an unusually artistic form. Color 
lemon yellow at base of petals, heavily tipped rich scarlet and enhanced with 
yellow petaloids, this is the description from the color charts, but its real beauty or its distinc¬

ranging from pale yellow through golden to a dash of brilliant red, just as the flames rise and 
fall and show all these colors. Not a bi-colored dahlia but a dahlia that arrests the attention 
immediately whether in the field or the show room. Plant is sturdy and insect resisting, stems

long, strong stems. Plants have excellent habit of growth. Roots, $3.01); Plants, $1.50 
HUNT’S VELVET WONDER 
(Hunt-Burnett). I. D. One of the giants of the ex¬ 
hibition table. Color a rich, bright violet burgundy, 
in some lights looks like royal purple. Petals are long and wave and taper near the tips. The 
huge blooms face sideways on good strong, canelike stems, well above foliage, which is very 
dark and insect resisting. Roots, $7.50; Plants,$3.00 
INDIANA MOON (I D.). Awarded certificate at the Trial Gardens at Storrs. This variety 
has won many first prizes in the Middle West where it was originated. It 
is a good dahlia in every way and grows without any forcing up around 10 inches and the 
bloom are held erect on long, stiff stems. The color of this variety is difficult to describe as there 
are so many colors in its make-up. The Trial Garden describes it as flesh ocher with faint lines 
of spinel pink running through some of the petals. With us it showed plenty of blending of 
colors to make it most attractive. Roots, 50c
