EVENTIDE~— (Hillside). This large attractive dahlia is unlike any 
other variety in color we have ever seen. The originator describes 
it as being a deep Violet Purple. Its color also matches the 
color plate of Diva Blue in Ridgeway’s Color Chart. With us its 
blooms came the nearest being a true blue of any variety we 
have ever grown. The flowers average about 10 inches across by 
4 to 5 inches in depth, and are held well out of the top foliage 
on long stiff stems. Plant attains to a height of 4 to 5 feet, is 
many branched and wide spreading. A very vigorous grower. 
Roots each $2.00, Plants each $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
LADY GAY~EF. D. (Pittman-Kemp, No. 21). Persons who are par- 
tial to Bi-Colored Dahlias will find in this new introduction a 
pleasing combination of light pink and red. The blooms are 
about 6% inches in diameter, and 4-5 inches in depth, and are 
very evenly matched in coloring. The lower two-thirds of the 
petals is deep rose red, tipped light rose pink, the red being 
slightly less noticeable on the older petals than on the younger 
front petals. Stems average around 8 inches and are very rigid. 
Plant is a strong grower, attaining to a height of about 5 feet, 
is wide spreading and very prolific of bloom from mid-season till 
cut down by frost. A splendid keeper when cut. Beautiful for 
house decoration and a splendid exhibition variety in the B class. 
Roots each $2.50, Plants each $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
GLAMOROUS~I. D. (No. 17-37). The color of this unusual dahlia 
is a combination of barium yellow and lavender pink blend, many 
blooms having about 50% of each color. Flowers are wide open, 
moderately full centered and can be grown to a width of 10-15 
inches. Has sufficient depth to make a well balanced flower. It 
is a novelty of considerable merit and unlike any other dahlia 
we have ever seen. Plant is a strong grower, wide spreading 
and very prolific of large bloom from midseason until killed down 
by frost. If you are partial to the unusual in dahlias, you will 
want this spectacular novelty. ON FLOWER GROWER HONOR
