QUEEN CITY—Formal Decorative 
(Peck) 1936 
The introducer has this to say about Queen City; ‘‘It 
combines the quality, stem, and productivity of Buckeye 
Bride with long life as a cut flower, and a glorious new 
color, scarlet pink.” We saw this flower last fall and 
will say that the above is no exaggeration. Mr. Der¬ 
rill W. Hart says in his Honor Roll: “I have this on trial 
and, like Buckeye Bride, it is a splendid open grower. It 
blooms throughout the entire season. The color is a dis¬ 
tinctive pink, a shade half way between cherry red and 
old rose. This dahlia has already proved itself on the 
cut flower market, and each plant will average 12 fine 
quality flowers.” Plants only.
