DIRECTOR MARSHALL A. HOWE-F. D. An honor roll dahlia 
of great merit named for the late lamented Director of the Bronx 
Botanical Garden. It is most attractive in form and color, it being 
a true formal decorative, the color being a deep tyrian rose, which 
is enhanced by the abundant foliage. It is quite large, and is 
held well out of the foliage on stiff stems. Plant is a medium 
to tall grower, and very healthy. Good root maker.

VOLCANO~F. D. This great big fellow generally rates as formal. 
It is near the border line between the informal and formal and 
is often exhibited in the informal class. 
The color is Orange Flame red that does not fade nor burn. 
The 11 x 7 inch blooms are held high out of the foliage on stiff 
stems. The 414 foot plant is clothed with dark green foliage, is 
very rugged and prolific of giant exhibition blooms. A consistent 
winner in the largest bloom class.

sturdy, healthy grower, attaining to a height of 414 to 5 feet.

yellow with almost every grower. In color it is clear gold at 
center ot tlower, shading to light orange buff on outer half of pet- 
als, rich, bright, beautiful and of great size. The long stems hold 
the giant blooms high above the top foliage and are produced free- 
ly on 6-7 foot high plants. If you are looking for a great prize 
winner, buy this one, it will not disappoint you.

peer. Plant is a strong healthy grower, and the large brilliant 
colored blooms are held high out of the foliage on stiff stems.
