GIANT IVORY. D. An immense Dahlia, 
ranking among the very largest in this class 
—in fact the largest 1 know—held on cane 
like stems 2)4 to 3 ft. in length. The color is 
an old ivory or light gold with a orange buff 
flush on the always tight center, which gives 
it a very striking appearance. This some¬ 
times disappears in dry season but is always 
noticeable when grown to perfection. So 
strong is the stem and neck I have seen it 
hold a giant bloom right out in a thirty mile 
wind without breaking and flower of such 
substance it was little injured. Also a good 
keeper when cut. No Dahlia has the exact 
shade and center of Giant Ivory and it is 
outstanding in this class. Divisions $15 each. 
Plants $7. 
CAROLINA BEAUTY. I. D. (Almy-Dewar). 
This beautiful Dahlia resembles Jersey’s 
Beauty, but is an even brighter and more 
beautiful in color, and held facing to facing 
up on cane stiff stems that can be cut from 3 
to 5 ft. in length and is a most extraordinary 
keeper when cut. (See testimonial below.) 
The bush is from 6 to 8 ft tall and of splen¬ 
did vigor, and has never been propagated and 
so prolific that it is common to find 10 up to 
25 blooms on a plant and averaging 8 in. 
Heavily disbudded it will grow to enormous 
size. These results obtained in the hot cli¬ 
mate of the South. In Northern and West¬ 
ern districts it should be even better. A very 
large stock enables me to quote a price far 
below its worth. Strong Divisions $7.50, 3 
for $20. Plants $3.50, 3 for $9. The foliage 
and growth is perfect.

Mr. R. A. Dewar, 
Andrews, N. C. 
Dear Mr. Dewar: 
For the past three years I have been very much in¬ 
terested in your new pink seedling—Carolina Beauty. 
It adapts itself to a vase and I have never seen more 
beautiful flowers than the ones on display during the 
past three seasons at Davis Pharmacy in Andrews. 
I am glad to recommend this dahlia to those who 
wish a beautiful flower. 
Sincerely yours, 
(Mrs.) CATHERINE C. MARTIN.
