This new decorative dahlia is indeed a Dahlia of Distinction. 
It combines all the good qualities of a modern first-class dahlia. 
Upright, vigorous growth reaching a height of from 5 to 6 feet. 
Stems and trunk dark metallic shade. Stems very long and wiry 
holding the gorgeous flower in perfect position. Flowers range from 
7-9 inches in diameter. By disbudding much larger. The color is a 
unique shading not often seen in a flower and one difficult to 
properly describe. Perhaps violet-lavender would be near to its 
color. Yet it has a shading of old rose and amber at the base of 
the petals. A strikingly handsome flower. Strong roots, $1.00 each.
