grower.....Plant $2.00; Root $5.00

Many excellent reports were received by us on the per¬ 
formance of this Dahlia the past season — it is entirely 
different from the average run of Dahlias, both in petal 
formation and plant growth. The color, blended shades of 
gorgeous purple, lighter on reverse. Beautiful, large blooms 
with wide pointed petals. The bush is hardy, tall and posi¬ 
tively insect-resisting — never stunts.Root $1.00

sistent prize winner everywhere. The color is dark red and
