the tips of the branches open up like 
gigantic dahlias of a brilliant color, in¬ 
creasing in size until the whole plant 
is illuminated with huge potnsettia-like

New Hornsveld Hybrids 
In our many trials of Dahlias we have 
found one here that is a perfect beauty 
in size and colors. Seed planted inside 
in April and transplanted to our gar¬ 
dens in June began blooming in 
August, producing enormous sized 
double and semi-double blooms in 
many rich shades and colors. 
Photograph above does not do justice 
to this Beautiful Dahlia; notice the 
large double blooms, some measuring 
over 7 inches across, and many buds 
yet to open. It is a healthy and strong 
grower, blooms in about 90 days from 
seed, and will delight all who love fine, 
large Dahlias.
