One of the outstanding dahlias of the year. A new shade and an easy dahlia to grow. The color 
is American Beauty rose red without anv shading. The form is similar to Satan. The bush growth is 
exceptionally robust and the stems firm and long. The foliage is insect-resistant. It is a very free and 
early bloomer. Winner as best semi-cactus seedling at New York, Philadelphia, and Scranton. On Mr. 
Johnston's Honor Role in the “House Beautiful” where a full page cut of it was featured, and also on 
Mr. Barron’s Honor Role in the "Flower Grower”. Flowers average 10 by 6 inches, and it can be grown 
to very large size. Named in honor and by special permission of O. O. McIntyre, the famous columnist 
whose daily column “New York Day by Day” is read by milhons all over the country. All root orders 
will be filled from field grown, unpropagated stock.

(Karver-Veile)

Here is one of those dahlias that is right on the bor¬ 
der line of Formal and Informal Decorative. However, 
it won in six shows as the best Formal Decorative seed¬ 
ling. The color is a golden yellow shading to apricot. 
A very free and early bloomer with excellent, heavy 
foliage and fine, long stems. Flowers are exhibition 
size and it is also a great cut flower. Very easy to grow. 
Winner in the following shows: New York, Philadel¬ 
phia, Scranton, Poughkeepsie, Camden, N. J., and 
Nazareth, Pa. I honestly believe that it won at more 
shows than any other dahlia this past season. 
All root orders will be filled from field grown, unpro¬ 
pagated stock. On Mr. Johnston’s Honor Roll in the 
“House Beautiful” and Mr. Barron’s Honor Role in the 
“Flower Grower”.
