FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT—This outstanding new Decorative Dahlia is 
without question one of the finest garden varieties ever introduced. We 
have been observing this variety for the past two years and can truthfully 
say that it is worthy of bearing its illustrious name. The abundantly pro¬

plant this fine variety.

JANE COWL (Decorative)—No Dahlia has ever been in such great demand. 
Ideal bush—fairly lall, with vigorous dark green, leather-thick foliage, 
straight and strong yet not clumsy; monster blooms of glistening bronzy 
buff and salmon shades. Jane Cowl is held on the stem just as it should 
be—looking at you and slightly up. The flowers are immense, of the full 
petaled decorative type, with just enough twist to the broad petals to add 
the touch of refinement. It has been called the world’s “most perfect 
Dahlia” . 
JEAN TRIM BEE (Semi Cactus)—The beautiful royal purple flowers of this 
Dahlia are borne on exceptionally strong stems. The flowers are large 
and massive and yet are artistic with long revolute petals that curl and 
twist ...

dahlia. No other variety can compare with it in perfect form, gorgeous 
color, stiff stems and keeping quality. Highest rating of any dahlia by 
American Dahlia Society ..
