EUGENIA BALLAY (I. D.)—This dahlia is a rich cream color. An early and

ELLA MAY (Prentice-Dahliadel)—This dahlia offers you a good cactus dahlia 
with a real good stem, although at times it is an Incurved Cactus. Flowers

work. Color, deep crimson carmine, dark, yet rich and distinctive. Bush 
is a good grower. Height, 4 feet. 50c 
FRANK SERPA F. D. (Serpa-Salbach)—General effect, light amaranth pink, 
produced by petal tips of mallow pink that grow lighter toward the base 
of the petals, paling to a delicate orchid pink. This two-toned effect gives 
the flower a beautiful, clear, crisp appearance that makes it a real aristo¬ 
crat. Holds its color well under artificial light. The blooms are very 
large. Height, 4 feet. Roots $3.50 Plants $1.75 
FRED SPRINGER (F. D.)—Here is a new dahlia and one that will be in great 
demand as a border dahlia. It is a dwarf grower, growing to a height of 
two feet with distinct fine cut foliage with large scarlet red flowers, with 
short stems that cover the bush and stay on the plant a long time, giving 
the plant the appearance of a rose bush with gigantic roses. None better 
for a border or hedge. Roots 50c 
FOREST FIRE I. D. (Dahliadel)—In the bi-color classes this variety should 
have a wonderful future, as our interpretation of a bi-color dahlia is one 
Paving two distinct colors on the face of the petal. Forest Fire has distinct 
lemon yellow for about one-third the length of the petals, then shaded to 
rich scarlet toward the tips enhanced by clear yellow petaloids. Height, 
4 to f; f eP t Roots $2.50 Plants $1.25
