highest seedling award at the Pennsylvania Horti- 
cultural Society. Center of flower is a clear light lemon 
yellow shaded rose and coral on outer petals. on three 
Achievement Medals, New York, Camden and Burholme. 
It is quite evident that this variety likes good culture or, 
in other words, it can take it, which is a quality quite 
necessary for a successful exhibition dahlia in the large 
bloom classes. Not only large, but deep, and of a pleas- 
ing clean color. For those who want them big to exhibit 
we believe this variety will be more than interesting .......

color although of a rather loose and shaggy formation.
