lific of blooms.” In fact I think, with strict disbudding, dis¬ 
branching and forcing, it can be grown to the mammoth size 
of 16 inches or more. This dehlia is the giant of giants. It 
never fades or burns. Truly it is the greatest exhibition dahlia 
ever introduced _ Roots $1.00 Plant .75

Monmouth Queen (F.D.) "Kemp”—Bush 6 ft. This fine 
light yellow made good all over the country the past season, 
and those who had it in their collection, report it as being 
greatly admired by the many visitors at their gardens. The 
color effect of this dahlia is most pleasing, it being a piric 
yellow in the center of the flower, with graduation of light 
primrose to creamy yellow rear petals. Flowers are full cen¬ 
tered and are held facing front, and are 10-12 inches in width 
by 4-5 inches in depth. Stems are long and stiff, holding the 
flowers high out of the foliage. Plant a robust grower, and 
good root maker. Not subject to insect attacks_ .Roots .90
