SILVER LADY (Hillside 85A), 1940, Bloom 10 x 6, 
Bush 5 ft. Ivory white, lightly flushed and edged

dahlias, and secured more than its share of win- 
nings. The delicate shadings seem to grow in beau- 
ty the more the flower is examined. A rugged bush, 
with vigorous foliage and long, strong stems add 
the finishing touches to a really great creation. Cer-
