RUD. KIPLING, F. D. (Salem Dahlia Gardens). 
Blooms do not grow quite so large, only 9-11 
inches, but they attracted as much attention in 
our gardens the past season as any other variety, 
on account of their wonderful color and stiff 
stems. The color is very deep rose with shadings 
of ashes of rose. Profilic bloomer of medium 
height. A variety worthy of its name. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
SON OF SATAN —S. C. (Slocum). This sturdy Son 
of the well-known variety SATAN has created a 
sensation wherever shown. Its very large bril¬ 
liantly colored scarlet red blooms, long stiff 
stems, and tall sturdy growing plants are suf¬ 
ficient to recommend it to the most discriminate 
grower.
