For best results grow Parrella dahlias. 

TOWN TOPIC (Hulin-Parrella)—Some 
thing really sensational in a new — 
dahlia. It is a direct cross of White | 
Abundance on WENOKA and retain- — 
ing the best features of both, the 
wonderful free blooming of Abund- — 
ance and the fine keeping qualities, — 
with long stiff stems, of Wenoka. 
THE BUSH is very rugged, medium | 
. tall with many laterals very upright 
‘Insects left it entirely alone in our 
plantings. The blooms will average | 
nine inches grown normally, with ten 
to fifteen inches of clear stem above | 
the first set of leaves. According to 
the chart the general color is magen- | 
ta purple shading to petunia purple. — 
About !4% or more come perfectly 
tipped white, which is a_ glorious 
sight. If all blooms came tipped it 
would cost twice as much and be 
worth more. The fine keeping quality 
is a feature not found in many 
dahlias of this size. THE FORM of 
the bloom is a very compact formal, 
very deep and perfectly full at all 
times, never shattering. For the past 
two seasons it has been “The Talk 
of the Town” and this is how it ac- 
quired its name.
