WATCHUNG GIANT~—I. D. (Smith). This truly great dahlia is 
of gigantic size, and is most outstanding in every respect. In 
color it is a beautiful light definite yellow, with warm suffusion 
of rose, and notwithstanding its great size it is without coarse- 
ness, as is often the case with extra large flowered varieties. The 
plant is a very sturdy grower and foliage, stem and habit ex- 
cellent.

als, rich, bright, beautiful and of great size. The long stems hold 
the giant blooms high above the top foliage and are produced free-

winner, buy this one, it will not disappoint you.

MRS. WM. S. KNUDSEN~I. D. (Dixie). This large white is in 
our opinion one of the best white dahlias introduced in recent 
years. It is not only a strong vigorous grower, but a bountiful 
producer of large exhibition blooms of first quality. 
Weather conditions that spotted every other white dahlia in 
our gardens last season, never injured the blooms of this dahlia, 
they coming through spotless and in fine condition in all other 
respects. The blooms have been grown up to 12 inches in 
diameter, and 7 inches in depth. Stems are long and stiff, hold- 
ing the flowers high out of the foliage. Height of plant 6-7 feet. 
Has many prizes to its credit.

long and diligently to find another dahlia of such artistic beauty 
as this variety possesses. The color is helio and cream so per- 
fectly and artistically blended it would seem that nothing more 
could be added that would enhance its beauty. The flowers are 
of perfect informal decorative type, are very large and have 
excellent stems that hold the flower high out of the foliage. Plant - 
is a strong vigorous grower, attaining to a height of 5 feet and 
over.
