"CLAIRE MORTIMER”—This exquisitely beautiful large 
Informal Decorative Dahlia was conceded to be the most beau¬ 
tiful dahlia they had ever seen by growers and all others who 
saw it. Its large size, 10 to 14 in. by 6 in. deep, with its fine 
form and exquisite coloring, make it an Outstanding Flower. 
The color is a clear warm light cyclamen pink without any 
lavender in it—a new shade and very lovely color. The full 
tight center is a deeper shade of the same color. The foliage is 
a dark reddish green, strong and insect resistant, and the 
blooms are held erect on long wiry, stiff but graceful stems. 
5 foot bush, prolific bloomer and splendid keeper when cut 
or on the bush. A First Prize Winner through the one, two 
and three year Seedling stage, and for best dahlia in several 
shows. On Flonor Roll. 
Roots, each, $20 up to March 20th; after that date, $15.
