GOLDEN BOUNTY (Chick-Dahliadel 85A), 1938, 
Bloom 9 x 6, Bush 4 ft. Rich lemon yellow flowers 
on sturdy, compact bushes with foliage resembling 
holly. Blooms are so deep and full they revert to 
the stem. Bush easily grown and produces an a- 
bundance of blooms from early until late. While 
the stems are somewhat short in field culture, this 
variety grows taller in the garden and gives uni- 
versal satisfaction. A favorite with our customers.
