GOLDEN BEAUTY I. D. (Silvernale-Oakleigh)—We are using the description

this description fits to a “T” to this marvelous dahlia. Is an informal decora¬ 
tive, just naturally big. Blooms from twelve to fourteen inches off the same 
plant. Seven feet tall and with facing flowers of a lovely rich golden 
shade. ^ One of the finest centers I have ever seen on a dahlia, which 
means it will stand lots of pushing. Incidentally, a seedling of Jane Cowl- 
Bing Crosby. With all its size, a truly beautiful dahlia that will make 
all the giant informal decorative step. A certificate winner, and on three 
Honor Rolls. A real dahlia. Roots $2.00
