Ruth V aughati 
Greatest Pink Since Jersey’s Beanty 
Ruth Vaughan is of the formal decorative type, about a half 
larger than Jersey’s Beauty, clear La France pink with slight 
yellow shading at base of petals, perfect form, profuse bloomer, 
rank grower, long, strong stems, and has everything that it takes 
to make it one of the most popular dahlias ever introduced. Harley 
Peck gives it a rating of 87, along with Jersey’s Beauty at 8'8, 
Cavalcade 87, Kathleen Norris 84 and Mrs. I. de Ver Warner 83. 
It has a very beautiful sheen and under subdued light is one of 
the most attractive dahlias we have ever seen. We sold very short 
on this variety last year and our planting was only about half what 
we wanted it to be this spring; but we are still keeping the price 
at $18. per hundred or $150. per thousand—surely a very low 
price for such a dahlia. Be sure to get your order in while stock 
is still available.
