DAHLIAS AND SEEDS 
*FRANK SERPA (Serpa-Seal 1935)—An informal decorative of exquisite beauty—light 
amaranth pink produced by petalled tips of mallow pink growing lighter towards the 
base of petals, turning to a delicate orchid pink; the two-toned effect gives the flower 
a beautiful crisp appearance. Extra long clean stems hold the blooms very high above 
a plant four to five feet high and is a vigorous grower. This lovely dahlia has won 
many prizes and the 1934 Achievement Medal in San Francisco and is on the Roll of
