SPRINGFIELD, the greatest of all Dahlias—A new Dahlia 
of our own introduction. It is identical with Countess 
of Lonsdale, except in two essentials. It has a darker 
stem and the flowers instead of being salmon-pink, as 
in Lonsdale, are a rich amaranthine-red. No one can 
describe its color, as it is an entirely new break in col¬ 
ors for Dahlias. Its beauty cannot be described. No 
Dahlia blooms freer, no Dahlia is as pretty as Spring- 
field. It lasts longer cut than any Dahlia we know. 
This is without question the greatest of all Dahlias. Be 
sure and try Springfield. $2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per 
hundred.
