Score 85C East Lansing 
Blooms 8x4 inches facing on long stiff stems. 
Pale to light greenish yellow suffused mallow 
pink. Flowering habit excellent. Habit of 
growth tall, bushy, vigorous. Health excellent. 
Substance good. Much like Jersey Beauty in 
type and habit. This beautiful new Certificate 
dahlia will be a grand addition to your collec¬ 
tion of high class dahlias. It has been a sensa¬ 
tion in my garden and I am sure it will take its 
place well up among the leaders at the future 
shows. This dahlia has been grown entirely 
from roots, never having been placed on the 
propagating bench. However I am growing 
plants from it this spring.
