CHEER LEADER 
(Richardson-Sparks) 
Where the crowds look on you will always find CHEER LEADER 
in the limelight. 
It is outstanding because of its VIGOR, UNIQUENESS AND USE¬ 
FULNESS. 
This dahlia not only performs well when the shows are on, but its 
field performance is most satisfactory and floriferous. 
Where a dahlia must cope with the hard-driving elements CHEER 
LEADER commands the applause. 
Dressed in a self color of rose pink and poised just right on a stem 
both strong and long, this dahlia has what it takes to go places. It can 
also stand rough handling and still look good. It has the right substance. 
CHEER LEADER is formal in its makeup of about six to eight 
inches by five in size with supporting foliage that withstands the insects 
and weather. 
CHEER LEADER is excellent in the field where a host of bloom is 
avaliable for the early market and throughout the season. 
This dahlia does not lay down on the job. It has proven a grand 
commercial commanding top prices. 
Being a good root maker and propagator we offer this reliable 
dahlia at 
$7.50 net, strong division, 
$3.00 net, strong plant.
