We do not hesitate to say 
that a plant of Incan¬ 
descent at the New York 
Botanical Garden under 
Seedling No. 1, Canada, 
was one of the most out¬ 
standing. Incidentally, this 
dahlia scored 85 at the 
100. It is also on Mr. 
Root $10.00 Plants $5.00 
M. COL (F. D.)—A medium size dahlia. A beautiful tri-color flower. Yellow 
at the center shading to orange with silvery white tips. A fine grower 
and producer. Size of blooms, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. The blooms are 
erect on cane-like stems, facing sideways. Size of plant averages from 
3V 2 to 4 feet in height with insect resisting foliage. We believe this 
dahlia will make a wonderful commercial variety, as the blooms have a 
fine lasting quality after it’s cut. M. Col was not only admired at our 
Gardens, but also at the New York Botanical Garden, and the different 
Shows we attended. A European variety that made good.
