REICHARDT’S MASTERPIECE (Foreign) 
This, I believe, is the most distinctive of all the foreign 
Dahlias shown this year. I know of no other color com¬ 
bination just like it-—a clear canary-yellow with about one- 
third of the petals of clear amethyst. The effect is very 
pleasant and certainly most unusual.
