MAYOR FRANK OTIS, I. D. (’Salbach,” 1939). Bloom 
14 x 7, bush 5 ft. It is a soft, rich golden honey yellow 
/ 
with just a touch of coppery shading. It won two 
Achievement Medals, on two Honor Rolls, and won SIX

highest seedling award at the Pennsylvania Horti- 
cultural Society. Center of flower is a clear light lemon 
yellow shaded rose and coral on outer petals. Won three 
Achievement Medals, New York, Camden and Burholme. 
It is quite evident that this variety likes good culture or, 
in other words, it can take it, which is a quality quite 
necessary for a successful exhibition dahlia in the large 
bloom classes. Not only large, but deep, and of a pleas- 
ing clean color. For those who want them big to exhibit 
we believe this variety will be more than interesting........

MISS OAKLAND (Oakleigh-Lakeside). Bloom 9x5, bush
