PEPPERMINT CANDY (Alling 82B), Bloom 6 x 3, 
Bush 5 ft. An unusual bi-color of cream splashed, 
striped and penciled soft carmine. People like it be- 
cause of its color and perfect form, but the stem is 
unusually weak and hooks over. Easy to grow. 
Root, .59; Pot Root, .50 . 
VIRGINIA RUTE (Chappaqua 86A), 1939, Bloom ra 
12 x 9, Bush 514 ft. This dahlia has everything. iy 
Jt will grow beautiful under cloth and equally well ie 
in the open. Color is rich oxblood red shaded gar- . 
net on edge of petals. Resembles Cherokee Brave 
in color and form. Blooms have high, full centers. 
The long, strong stems need no support even when

dling and is in our opinion, one of the best.
