MRS. W. F. LORD F. D. (Pike-Parrella)—A grand dahlia from Canada. Color, 
a bright gold with tints of peach pink on reverse. Gold deepens to a 
golden orange to the center of the flower. This marvelous dahlia started 
its prize winning career in 1933 and continued in 1934, when it won the 
“Morley Mackenzie Cun” for the best seedling at the Toronto East Dahlia 
Society Exhibition. Also won as largest and best bloom at the 1934 Scar¬ 
borough Show. A 1935 winner. The unusual formation and the fine long,
