CLARA CARDER. Dec. (Kemp) One of the greatest 
pink decorative dahlias we have ever grown. Its for¬

formal decorative, and is in a color class by itself, it 
being a beautiful shade of clear Cyclamen pink, the 
only dahlia we know of this color. The absolutely 
perfect stems makes this dahlia ideal for staging in 
the shows, and for decorative purposes. The blooms 
are produced in the greatest profusion from early 
season until cut down by frost, and can be grown to 
10 to 12 inches without forcing. Plant is a vigorous 
grower, medium in height (4 to 4)4 feet) wide spread¬ 
ing and many branched, each branch producing a 
great bloom without special disbudding. First prize

to the plant to insure good stems, which are long, 
slender and the great size and weight of the blooms 
may cause them to be somewhat pendulous in un¬ 
favorable situations. On Hart’s 1934 Honor Roll.
