Two Exceptionally Fine European Dahlias 
BAUER’S MASTERPIECE —I. D. (Jane Cowl X Copper King.) 
A great Dahlia with a brilliant future. It is unquestionably 
one of the finest dahlias we have ever grown. The great 
number of giant blooms of perfect formation, from early sea¬ 
son to frost, the long stiff stems, and the beautiful sym¬ 
metrical bush growth, easily puts it in the front ranks with 
the best dahlias of the day. The color is a golden bronze. 
Blooms attain a size of 12-13 inches in diameter by 7-8 
inches in depth. Bush attaines a height of SV 2 to 4 feet, 
is well branched, and it is no unusual thing to see 6-12 
enormous blooms coming out at the same time. Cane like 
stems hold the giant blooms well out of the foliage, facing 
upward. Supply very limited. Plants only, $5.00
