SAN FRANCISCO (Ballay) I. D.—Shrimp pink. In all respects 
it is a dahlia built on a massive plan, and is outstanding 
particularly because of the extraordinarily tall, strong 
growth of the plant which is well able to carry the 
blooms of such enormous size. All blooms measure from 
12 to 15 inches, with great depth, and there is no sug¬ 
gestion of coarseness about them. The well proportioned 
plant averages 6 to 8 feet in height. The color is approx¬ 
imately shrimp pink. The foliage is always bright and 
clean. 2.50
