ceptionally large and are held erect on long, stiff, almost 
leafless stems, high and above the foliage of the strong, self¬

ing season. Very much admired at the N. Y. Botanical Gar¬

Murphy’s Masterpiece (I.D.) "Murphy” 1932 — This giant 
red dahlia could have been very appropriately named SEEK 
NO FURTHER, for when it comes to winning in the largest 
bloom class, it is the recognized leader. It is quite safe to say, 
it was the largest winner in this class of any dahlia exhibited 
in the 1933 eastern show. If you expect to carry off the blue 
ribbon in the largest bloom class you have simply got to have 
Murphy’s Masterpiece to do the trick. The flowers can be 
grown up to 14 inches and over in size, and it grows large with¬ 
out much encouragement. The color is dark red, shading to¬ 
ward garnet, and it will withstand much sun heat without 
fading or burning. ____ Plants .75
