HILLCREST MANDARIN, I. D. (89), LL., 5 to 6 ft. A 
flashy big flower, brilliant Oriental scarlet and golden 
yellow. One of the brightest color combinations I have 
ever seen in a Dahlia. The plant is a thrifty grower 
and a free bloomer. Will produce many 12-inch blooms 
on three-foot stems.

and have good, full centers and great depth. The flowers 
of deep rosy magenta blending into a true purple are well 
proportioned with large, dark foliage. 60

immense size, can be grown to 13 inches and over in 
width by 7 to 9 inches in depth, and are held high
