MISS ELSIE JANE (Dahliadel 86B), 
Bloom 6 x 4, Bush 4 ft. About the most 
artistically formed dahlia in the entire 
list. In color, too, it is most unusual, 
being a shrimp pink with cream shad- 
ings at center and tipped violet rose. 
Disbudded the flowers can easily be 
produced 6 x 4 inches. Blooms freely 
from early until frost. For sheer beauty 
character, floriferousness, long wiry 
stems and all-around usefulness, we 
heartily recommend it. Roots, .50; Pot

TANTE STIEN (Dutch 84B), Bloom 7 x 4, Bush 
314 ft. Bright scarlet, which produces its blooms 
in great profusion. A foreign variety which was

VIRGINIA RUTE (Chappaqua 86A), 1939, Bloom 
12 x 9, Bush 5'% ft. This dahlia has everything. 
It will grow beautiful under cloth and equally well 
in the open. Color is rich oxblood red shaded gar- 
net on edge of petals. Resembles Cherokee Brave 
in color and form. Blooms have high, full centers. 
The long, strong stems need no support even when 
grown for exhibition. A variety that needs no cod- 
dling and is in our opinion, one of the best.
