WATCHl;NG WONDER (Smith 85) 
1929, Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 5 ft. A spectacular 
dahlia of a rich royal red with a touch of gold 
at the tips of the petals, with an occasional yel¬ 
low petaloid to enhance its beauty. Flowers 
might be described as being almost on the end of 
the stem, and have unusual keeping qualities, for 
the back petals can be removed when withered 
and the centers will open out to perfect blooms.
