Jane Cowl, Jersey Beauty, Kathleen Norris and other 
of the newer varieties. The dahlia that has caused 
universal favorable comment has been your new 
seedling Carolina Beauty. Many tourists passing 
through Andrews have stopped and admired this 
seedling and they have told us they thought the 
coloring and size and general appearance of the Car¬ 
olina Beauty was one of the best if not the best they 
had ever seen. The stems are so long and graceful, 
the foliage very green and free from defects and the 
flowers the most delicate shading of pink with a dash 
of yellow at the center of the petals.

informal decorative type and of a larger size and I 
believe that it will appeal to Dahlia growers. 
Very truly yours, 
BENJ. W. SILL.
