SAARLAND HEIMKEHR, SC. Chrome yellow at base of petals shading 
to a lovely shade of pink. This dahlia is the most pleasant accident 
we have happened upon in years. Being bought for trial without 
any particular recommendation, the author was spellbound when 
the first bloom opened. Nor did it disappoint us later in the sea¬ 
son. At the Mid West show at Cincinnati, it took first prize for 
us in its class in the Commercial section. Blooms are from nine 
to ten inches across, borne on perfect stems, high above the fol¬ 
iage. Plants are clean, sturdy and vigorous growing. 
Plants only $1.50 net.

ous growing. Plants only $3.50. 
SARA KAY, SC. Fine, rich yellow. We consider this a mighty nice ad¬ 
dition to our list of offerings. The blooms are of great size and 
depth, borne on good stems. Brushes are cleatoi and vigorous. It is sn 
early ibldomer. Plants only $2.00. 
SEVERIN’S TRIUMPH, FD. True pink. For exhibition this makes Jer¬ 
sey’s Beauty and all other pink Formats take a back seat. It pos¬ 
sesses just about every good quality a dahlia should have. Blooms 
are of large size and good depth on perfect stems. It is a splendid 
keeper when cut. The plants are rather tall-growing and rugged. 
We recommend this one to the limit. Plants only $1.25.
