of all exhibition varieties, being a wonderful

EVENTIDE. Flower 10x6. Bush 4% feet. Here 
is a purple informal that with us set a mark 
in its first year that will be hard to beat. 
Its unusual production of big blooms, most 
excellent stem and free and vigorous habit 
of growth, high substance of bloom, marks 
it as one of the best of the new dahlias.
