(Lee-Parrella)—Exhibition. 5 ft. 
tall. Blooms 18% inches x 9% 
inches. Spectrum red shades of 
carmine toward tips, with 
chrome yellow petaloids. The 
petaloids give a relief to the 
vivid red and soften the gen- 
eral tone color. Flowers facing 
on best of stems, the bush is 
an open grower with insect re- 
sisting foliage. A free and pro- 
fuse bloomer. Has an exception- 
al long lasting quality after it 
is cut. One bloom measuring 13 
inches x 9 inches which we had 
on display at “Gardens. on 
Parade” lasted exactly ten days, 
and that is from Oct. 11th to 
Oct. 21st. At the end of that 
time it was a shame to discard 
it as it was in pretty good 
condition yet. “Lynn Fontanne”’ 
received First in the seedling 
class in a basket of 10 blooms, 
Sunday, Sept. 22nd at the A. 
D. S. Show at “Gardens on

The photo on the envelope represents one section of our large display. 
First Prize Winner at the New York World’s Fair, “Gardens On Parade.” Our 
display was beautiful and admired by everyone but also was rather an original 
one. As you can see from the photo we displayed a huge framed Old Glory 
made entirely of dahlias, white poms were mounted on the silver stars—bright 
red and snow white decoratives were used for the stripes. Needless to say our 
display attracted the most attention of the visitors particularly for the original 
idea of the flag which was highly commented on being very appropriate, par- 
ticularly at this time.
