petal that we get m a rose, but this beautiful dahlia reminds 
one of the coloring found in the Mme. Edouard Herriot rose. An exhibition sized decorative with 
evenly placed rounded petals. Excellent for cutting on account of its long rigid stem and gor¬ 
geous coloring. Free bloomer, foliage dark green and insect proof. Roots, 50o 
SANHICAN’S CAMEO (Fisher & Masson). The color of this formal decorative brings 
it under the new A. D. S. demand for “distinctiveness.’’ It is 
coral-rose with a glistening golden sheen on the face of the petals and a deep rose pink color on 
reverse. The deeper tone on the reverse of petals adding greatly to the appearance of depth. 
An extremely beautiful flower in daylight and even more so under artificial light. Free 
bicomer and excellent keeper when cut, there being frequently from four to six exhibition sized 
blooms on a plant at one time. Plants are of medium tall habit of growth and have dark green 
insect resisting foliage. Stems long and straight and carry flowers well above foliage.
