past president A. D. S. The blooms are facing on long, straight stems. Bush growth 
about 6 feet, very hardy with dark, green foliage. A wirner in the Open-to-All Class 
at New York. On all Honor Rolls excepting Dahlia Futurity Roll.

FORMOSA, LD. (S. D. G.) 
A 10 by 6-inch bloom of amaranth pink shading tyrian pink. This is a good, rug- 
ged grower, attaining a height of 6% feet, and while we do not claim it to be the best 
of all pinks, it will take the place of many of them on account of its hardiness and excel- 
lent keeping quality of the blooms. At the Camden Show it won as best informal seedling 
and was also awarded the Gold Medal certificate; it also won the Dahlia Society of 
Georgia Medal at Atlanta. 
Root $10.00, plant $5.00, cutting $3.35. 
SCARLET O’HARA, LD. (S. D. G.) 
If you want something that really grows big, here it is. 14 and 15-inch blooms 
are easily obtainable. It is scarlet with puff orange reverse and the outer petals twist 
showing both colors. The stems are good and the bush grows to about 5 feet. When 
grown under partial shade and given some French scot to deepen the colors, this is 
a magnificent dahlia. On the Honor Rolls. 
Root $15.00, plant $7.50, cutting $5.00.
