This is unquestionably the largest and best 
dahlia ever grown or introduced, and is going 
to create a sensation when released. Blooms 
15 inches and over and of great depth seem to 
grow natural with this variety. It created a 
sensation in Europe the past season and 
scored 98 out of a possible 100 points at the 
Migron trial grounds in France, which are 
identical to those of our own at Storrs. Also 
won more cups and awards than any other 
dahlia was ever known to win in a single sea¬ 
son. The blooms are the largest known to 
date, extremely full and nearly as deep as it 
is wide, color rich old gold shaded brown 
without any other tints. The blooms last a 
long time on the plant and in water, and are 
held at a forty-five degree angle on strong 
cane-like stems, high and well above the foli¬ 
age, are borne in the greatest of profusion 
from early until very late in the season. The 
foliage is large, thick and leathery, the kind 
that not even grasshoppers will bother with. 
The plant is of extraordinary vigor and well 
in harmony with the huge flowers. Will be 
released in Spring of 1937. Plants only, $10.
