LITTLE AMERICA (Dahliadel 85), 
1937, Bloom 5 in., Bush 5 ft. As the 
picture shows this white Single is un¬ 
usually outstanding and artistic. The 
arrangement pictured kept perfectly 
for 4 days with stems in shallow water 
which is unusual for a single dahlia, 
especially a white one. The petals are 
inclined to roll forward, which makes 
the bloom even more artistic. Our 
customers who saw it in bloom are 
writing and asking for the single 
which resembles a giant Poet’s Nar¬ 
cissus. Stems are naturally long and 
erect for cutting as shown and the 
keeping qualities are remarkable. 
Very showy in the garden.
