SOME OLDER ORIGINATIONS 
RED SALUTE, F.D. 
—Bright scarlet; reverse of 
petals carries shadings of old 
rose on scarlet. When grown in 
the field without irrigation or 
fertilizer, blooms are 9^6 inch¬ 
es; they have high and full cen¬ 
ters, and petals fall back to the 
stems and terminate with serrat¬ 
ed tips. Strong stems hold the 
blooms ten inches above first 
set of leaves. Plants resist in¬ 
sects, are vigorous and very pro¬ 
lific and keep growing during 
the heat and drought of Sum¬ 
mer. When given some fertiliz¬ 
er and irrigated, plants will at¬ 
tain a height of eight feet and 
blooms will go to 11 inches.

WAR ADMIRAL, LD. 
—At the Georgia Trial Grounds, 
this variety was described as of 
apricot color with a distinctive 
rosy pink reverse. With us the 
color was much deeper, even go¬ 
ing into the carmine. Blooms 
are unusually large in size; 
petals slightly twist and have 
good substance. Stems are 
straight and stiff and hold the 
blooms 8 to 10 inches above the 
first set of leaves. Plant vigor¬ 
ous. Foliage thick, leathery, in¬ 
sect-resist nt and dark green. 
Root, $2.50; plant, $1.00 
GREATER GLORY, 
S.C.-Cac 
—Upon first opening the bloom 
may be classed as semi-cactus, 
but as it develops many of the 
petals curl and twist and it is 
decidedly cactus. The color is 
a deep rose pink, but occasion¬ 
ally a bloom will show some 
deep cream in the center. Busn 
is very vigorous and grows 
seven to eight feet tall. It is 
one of the most beautiful and 
artistic dahlias ever originated, 
of immense size on very long 
and straight stems. Winner or 
many first prizes.

RUD. KIPLING, F.D. 
—Blooms do not grow quite so 
large, only 9-11 inches, but they 
attract attention on account of 
their wonderful color and stiff 
stems. The color is very deep 
rose with shadings of ashes of 
rose. Another winner. 
Root, $1.25; plant, $.75 
DAVID COPPERFIELD, I.D. 
—Another of our winning giants. 
These blooms also have great 
denth and very high centers, 
and although the petals are rath¬ 
er broad, blooms are not at all 
coarse when fully developed. 
They are violet purple in color. 
Root, $1.25; plant, $.75

many first prizes at major shows 
all over the country.
