THE SHINING ONE 
NEW GOLDEN RULE Introductions 
SEASON’S BEST. S.C. Bloom 12x6. Bush 5% 
ft. A beautiful clear peach pink semi-cactus, 
a very artistic lovely flower, and a great 
improvement over others in this color class. 
Shown only once, it easily won the American 
Home achievement medal at Indianapolis. 
A seedling of Robt. Ripley, blooms keep 
amazingly well and will open full in water 
from a bud showing color. Stems long and 
strong with blooms held facing. We had in- 
tended to hold this over until next year but 
have decided to release it because of popular 
demand. Root stock limited. (Schutte) 
Plant, $5.00 
EAST ROW. F.D. Size 10x5. Bush 5% ft.

sistant. This dahlia is one of the earliest to 
bloom and grows like a weed. A sure fire

either cutting or exhibition. Achievement
