but dahlias that grew wonderful for us last season, and we 
are pleased to offer to our customers from coast to coast this 
coming year. 
Ace of Spades (F.D.) The Dahlia Supreme without a 
fault, was the greatest sensation of the year, a strong 6 
foot grower with mighty long stems, a very profuse 
bloomer of the darkest maroon, ten to twelve inch 
blooms, that last for days. We consider this the best 
dahlia since the advent of Jane Cowl enough said. We
