♦WASHINGTON GIANT (Iiee)—I. D. One o the most outstanding 1934 introductions 
in U. S. and has made good all over the world, as we have had many letters 
telling us of its success, and it was among the 1st Prize winners in most of 
the big Shows all over the U. S., and it won Sweepstake for the largest Dahlia 
in the Show in Portland, Ore., 1935, it also won the Achievement Medal at 
Portland, 1933. The late Mr. Derrill Hart, whose opinion is valued high in the 
Dahlia World, grew this variety in the east and wrote of it: “Unusual in form 
and in a color group not overburdened with varieties, a large flower on extra 
good stems and with good growing habits.” Color is lavender with orchid tints 
and blended with silver. Petals are broad and waving and curling petaloids 
between them. Blooms are giant in size, 12 inches and over across and 7 inches 
or more deep. Always has closed centers. Stems hold the giant . blooms per¬ 
fectly erect far above the foliage even to the last blooms in the fall. Plants 
are medium tall, strong erect growing with splendid habits and insect resisting 
foliage. Our stock has never been forced and our roots are strong and full of
