BETTE DAVIS. Bloom, 7x4%. Bush 4 feet. 
Lilac rose or a deep orchid pink. For high 
quality of flower and stem; for reliability 
of performance in garden or field this dahlia 
has no superior. It has an almost perfect 
habit of growth and from midseason on it 
presents an astonishing array and abund- 
ance of flowers. It is not a big root maker, 
but we have no difficulty keeping the roots 
100%. Plant, $1.00 
EVELYN CHANDLER. Bloom 11x7. Bush 5% 
feet. Color is a bright golden orange, a self 
color. A free bloomer with huge flowers held 
far above foliage. Best of long stems. It is 
an early and constant bloomer and a good 
root maker. This was one of the best, earliest 
and most reliable of the new ones for 1940.
