MRS. ALFRED B. SEAL (F.D.) — Described by 
the originator as follows: Undoubtedly the largest 
and finest pure rich, glowing, old rose dahlia ever 
produced — nothing we have ever seen can even 
remotely approach it. Such an unusual coloring —■ 
the softest, richest shade of pure, glowing, old rose 
imaginable. The flowers are huge, measuring with 
Siskiyou, and of great depth and substance, and 
hold proudy erect above a tall, strong bush.

MRS. L. L. HOOK (F.D.) —< Here is a dahlia that 
is entirely different from the average run of dahlias, 
both in petal formation and plant growth. The 
color, blended shades of gorgeous purple, lighter 
on reverse. Beautiful large blooms with wide 
pointed petals. The bush is hardy, tall and posi¬ 
tively insect resisting, never stunts. Scored 84 at 
Storr’s trial grounds. A superb variety in every 
respect and we guarantee its performance.

MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE (ID.) (Murphy-Suc¬ 
cess 86—The monster blooms of deep, dark red 
shading toward garnet are held erect on stiff stems. 
It is a stocky grower and in all a good dahlia. Com¬ 
paring this variety with Dwight W. Morrow, it has 
better stems, but is not as bright a shade of red, 
nor does it stand the amount of sunshine Dwight 
Morrow does without burning. Roots $2.00 
MYRA HOWARD (I.D.) (Glutzbeck-Dahliadel)— 
Glowing combination of saffron and gold with tints 
of salmon, the entire effect being ochreceous 
orange. Fine form and color. Wonderful plant and 
a thrifty grower, producing giant blooms on long 
rigid stems. Roots $1.00 
OMAR KHAYYAM (F.D.) — This much admired 
giant. Color, a Chinese red at the base of petals 
and shading to a bright orange and tipped lighter, 
giving the huge blooms a wonderful soft color 
effect. The flowers which can easily be grown to 
over 10 inches in width are held erect facing side¬ 
ways, well above the foliage on cane-like stems that 
can be cut from 4 to 6 feet in length. This variety 
has won many prizes and is good as a cut or 
exhibition flower. Roots 50c 
POTLATCH (I.D.) (Hulin) — Grenadine red with 
backs of petals pinard yellow and many petals 
splashed with it. Compact bush of five feet holding 
the large blooms on long stems. The blossoms will 
average 8 and 9 inches and face the audience. A 
long row of this attracted a lot of attention in our 
garden. Roots $1.00
