SPARKLE (Dahliadel 85S), Coll, Bloom 31%, Bush 
2% ft. In our Collarette family we have long been 
looking for a good, pure white that would bloom 
throughout the season without burning, and also 
produce a shapely bush for border planting. We 
have grown Sparkle for three years and feel confi- 
dent it will more than please you as it takes its 
place with our former introductions, Orangeade and 
Easy to grow, full of vitality, and a good 
root maker. Produces long straight stems for cut- 
ting, and truly sparkles in its profusion of bloom.
