WASHINGTON GIANT (Lee) I. D. The sensation at Portland 1933 Derrill W. 
Hart’s description of this unusual variety follows: “Winner of the American Home 
Achievement Medal at Portland. Here is a real lavender in a finely formed flower; 
the blooms are streaked with silver and as it grew with me, showed silver petaloids 
near the center of the flower; it is an aptly named flower on extra good stems.

WENOKA (Hulin) F. D. One of those large perfect Dahlias, that makes the 
Dahlia growing look so easy. A true formal type that will be a sure winner in these 
classes. One of the best new Dahlias on the West Coast, and at New York Botanical 
Gardens. The color is a shade lighter than American Beauty red. For perfection of 
blooms, true type, and splendid growing habits, this Dahlia has made a fine impression.
