DOC (Dahliadel 85),1939, Bloom 4, Bush 3 ft. A 
most attractive Single of primrose yellow shaded 
orange with a white stripe in the center of each 
petal. A favorite in our trial grounds for its out- 
standing color. Listed in the dahlia Futurity, 739, 
certified E. Lansing, and has won many prizes in 
all parts of the country. We have exhibited this 
variety in most of our commercial displays in re- 
cent years where it attracted the greatest attention. 
A distinct break in Single dahlias, and has produced 
several seedlings, listed for introduction later, which 
will prove of equal or even greater value.
