Forest Fire 
FOREST FIRE (Dahliadel 84E), ID, Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 4 1/2 ft. This dahlia is still spectacular and one 
of our best sellers. Forest Fire is distinct lemon yellow for about one-third the length of the petals, then 
shaded to rich scarlet toward the tips and enhanced by clear yellow petaloids. This variety is a rather 
stocky grower but can be very nicely handled by following Drawing Y. This will keep the blooms suf¬ 
ficiently above the foliage under normal growing conditions. It will also stand partial shade and although 
a little longer coming into bloom the bushes are considerably taller, and the stems longer between 
nodes. This dahlia does best with normal culture as it does not take forced feeding, and is really best in 
cool weather. Certified at Storrs, and at East Lansing. It attracts plenty of attention wherever shown 
and although a little late makes up for it with its wonderful blooms. Roots, $1.00; Plants, $.50
