FIREBALL. (FD) .... Roots $1.25 
(^Bissell) A brilliant scarlet red, which withstands sun. 
Flowers come early on good heavy foliage that is very insect

stems. This is another prize winner. The peculiar forma¬ 
tion of the petals, and the odd shade of scarlet blend to 
make this an extraordinarily popular flower. 
FOREST FIRE. (ID) . . . Roots 50c 
(Dahliadel) A very spectacular dahlia, and one that is very 
popular. A distinct lemon yellow for a third of the petal

clear yellow petaloids prominently interspersed. It makes 
a stocky plant, requiring careful disbudding to secure long 
stems, but producing a sensational blaze of flowers well 
worth the small extra care. Will stand partial shade, mak¬ 
ing it an excellent plant for landscaping. SPECIAL—

mine, toned with rose red, with the tips lightened to gold.
