Ribbon Dahlias of Recent Introduction 
ACE OF SPADES (Greubel), I. D. 
Bloom 11x5, bush 5% feet. A monster velvet maroon, almost 
black. This is just naturally a Giant and the blooms are held 
at right angles, far above the foliage on strong, stiff stems. It 
is an outstanding prize winner, and can be grown to 12 inches. 
On account of the great size, and rare color, it attracts every¬ 
one who comes into the garden.

A large well built bloom, color purple, that is the best of its 
color in its classification. All who grew this last year were well 
pleased with it. 12 inch blooms without forcing and heavy insect 
proof foliage. This is a fool-proof Dahlia. Anyone can grow it.
