1942 INTRODUCTIONS 
HULIN’S MELODY, S. C. (Hulin- 
Parrella) — It is almost impos- 
sible to paint a_ satisfactory 
word picture of a new dahlia, 
but when it comes to describing 
HULIN’S MELODY it is. still 
harder. Words fail to express 
the exquisite beauty this flower 
possesses with its intriguing 
blend of golden yellow and rose 
lavender. The wavy petals show 
a rose sheen on the _ reverse 
which blends most delightfully 
into a melody of colors. 
The color alone is not the only 
desirable feature of this new 
dahlia. The sturdy bush with 
long stiff stems holding ten-inch 
blooms well in the air is an 
outstanding addition to any 
garden. The large flowers have 
a full and tight center, being 
placed on the stems at an angle 
that looks right at you. Winner 
of several blues in the seedling 
class and a silver cup sweep- 
stakes award at the Western 
Washington Fair. Well men- 
tioned on the HONOR Roll.
