BARBARA ANN—I. Dec. (Reynolds-Fraser). We have 
had the pleasure of growing many bi-color dahlias in our 
gardens, but never have we had such a fine variety as 
this. The flowers are all so uniform in size and marking 
and every plant crowded with bloom making it an out¬ 
standing attraction. Deep rose red with white tips; 6-7 
inches in diameter, 4-5 inches deep without any disbud¬ 
ding. Roots $5.00; Plants only $2.50 
WATCHUNG GIANT—I. Dec. (Smith) Here is a truly

of rose; splendid stem and habit of growth.
