of salmon pink. Roots, .50; Pot Roots, .35 
CAVALCADE (Groll-Dahliadel 84E), Bloom 8x5, 
Bush 5 ft. in form and bush growth this dahlia 
resembles Jersey’s Beauty. It is, however, larger 
and two or three shades darker. Fine in the show 
room and for florists’ use as it is a decided change 
from Jersey’s Beauty in a rich, deep rose with tones 
of rosy magenta. A good root maker. Roots, .50 
ELITE GLORY (Kennedy 83E), Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 
41/2 ft. A dahlia that has had a long run of popu 
larity and is still good. Color, rich red. Blooms 
large, of good form and substance and held erect 
on strong stems. Midseason bloomer. Roots, .35 
ELITE SPORT (Dahliadel 84E), Bloom 9x5, Bush 
41/^ ft. A sport of Elite Glory, identical in bush 
growth, foliage, form of flower, and in all other 
characteristics except color. This is soft buff shaded 
and speckled crimson. This dahlia, in common with 
other sports, may revert and throw solid red flow¬ 
ers. Roots, .50

pure white tipped and suffused lavender. A proflt- 
able cut flower. Roots, .25

KENTUCKY (Castlewood 85C), Bloom 6 x 4, 
Bush %Yz ft. This dahlia has the same ideal char¬ 
acteristics as Jersey’s Beauty, of which it is a sport, 
and apparently a stronger grower. Its color is a 
tone of Jersey’s Beauty pink, with a lot of yellow 
and gold blended in, making it more of a salmon 
pink. Good for cutting. Roots, .35

Haslerova 
HASLEROVA (Svajner 86E), Bloom 8x4, Bush 5 ft. 
A glorified Le Grand Manitou only more refined, 
the ground color being a delicate lavender, almost 
white, flecked French purple. Truly a bi-color and 
should do plenty of winning in this class as there 
are few good ones. Stem, foliage and bush growth 
very satisfactory. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50

Long, broad petals of deep violet purple with dis¬

sturdy, stems long and erect. Blooms keep well for 
cutting and exhibiting. Roots, .35

edges of petals. Perfect, full centers. Stems are
