Josephine G. *'Grosscross 85”—Bloom 8x4, Bush 4/4 ft. One 
of the most charming of the recent introductions. Color is a 
very pleasing true rose pink of a bright shade, some petals 
tipped yellow. It makes a wonderful, sturdy bush, with 
flowers held well above the dense foliage. It is a prolific 
bloomer, and yet the flowers are of exhibition quality at the 
same time. _ Root .3 5

Laetare (C.) "Bruidegom” This is one of the prettiest 
dahlias we have ever grown, and possibly one of the 
hardest to describe, color a luminous red, on a soft 
yellow ground, gradually shading to yellow at the tips. 
The flowers average six to seven inches are held facing 
sideways on exceptionally long, stiff, wiry stems, the 
plant is a strong, husky, open grower. The blooms will 
keep a long time when cut and should be a great exhibi¬ 
tion dahlia, height four to five feet_Root 1.00

Brilliant cardinal red, the Stanford University color. 
The originator claims this is the brightest big red so far. 
It does not fade in the least in the hot sun. It is an 
early and free bloomer. Good stems. Has a similar 
formation to the great California Idol_Plant 3.00

we have ever grown, regardless of color, and is by far the great¬ 
est yellow dahlia we have ever seen. The color is a deep 
golden yellow, which is sustained until the last petal has 
withered. The flowers grow to an enormous size, and without 
forcing we had blooms the past season that measured over 13 
inches across and nearly 9 inches in depth on long stiff 
stems, that held the flowers high above the foliage. The for¬ 
mation is wonderful, as the long pointed and slightly twiating 
petals recurve until the stem is hidden from view for 6 or 8 
inches. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and very pro-
