MISS OHIO—This big winner with a beautiful 
shade of lilac rose color is the best stemmed, narrow 
petalled cactus in lavender class. The long florets are 
interlacing and are incurved, making up flowers that 
are deep and perfect. Grown normally, the blooms at¬ 
tain the size of 7x5 inches and are carried on long, 
medium size stems, well out of the foliage. The 
plants are vigorous growers with many branches 
coming from bottom, and are in bloom from mid- 
August till the end of season. Flowers have excep¬ 
tionally good keeping qualities and may be cut with 
stems 3-4 feet long. It is a wonderful dahlia for 
garden, cutting and exhibition, and the roots keep 
well. 4*4 feet. C. E.
