AUGHTER OF VENUS is a borderline type, being 
I Informal Decorative or Semi-Cactus. It’s given color 
is rosy mauve with center petals of a delicate orchid 
which gives it unusual beauty either in day or artificial light. 
The blooms range from 7" to 9" in diameter and 4" to 4}^ " 
in depth, without forcing. Stems are long and stiff. The plant 
itself is a profuse bloomer and grows from 5' to 6' tall with a 
healthy, rugged, bushy growth. Its resistance to insects is ex¬ 
ceptional, never having had to be sprayed in the three-year 
experimental period. 
These features combined with Daughter of Venus’ excep¬ 
tional lasting qualities make it unusually attractive either in 
the garden or the vase. 
Daughter of Venus has never been shown in competition but 
was exhibited at the 1935 Mid-West Dahlia Show, where it 
w as a center of attraction.
