Kaweah is named for one of our mountain peaks in the 
High Sierras of California. It has everything: huge size, splen¬ 
did long, strong, straight stem, wonderfully rich color, fuchsia 
rose, rich velvety cardinal shading at center of flowers, with 
reverse of orchid and lavender. It has fine form and substance, 
and splendid keeping qualities. First flowers have been 13^/^ 
to 161/2 inches, with great depth; late flowers 10 to 12 inches. 
These tremendous blooms are held perfectly erect on very long 
straight stiff stems, 18 to 24 inches to first lateral, requiring 
very little disbudding, one lateral being sufficient. As many 
as 4 and even 8 enormous blooms at one time on a bush. 
Experts say: "In a room full of dahlias, it arrests the eye by 
its size, shape and bearing.” Exceptional prize-winning un¬ 
propagated stock. (Illustrated on Back Cover.) Roots, $31-^^
