BLACKISH-RED MINIATURE DAHLIA 
„BISHOP OF LLANDAFF", DUPLEX 
A Dahlia, which actually forms a class on its own as it is almost impossible to classify it 
with any of the other varieties. The half-double flowers are exceedingly beautiful and of a 
blood red color with a velvety gloss. The outstanding features of this Dahlia, however, are 
that the stems and foliage are of such a dark mahogany brown shade that they almost resemble 
black. This almost black foliage with the very dark red flowers form a rare contrast. They 
reach a height of about 24 inches and are extremely suitable for beds ^ j 
and edgings. Plant them 12 inches apart. Each $ — .60, per 12 $ 6.10 y ■
