good strong grower. Root, $1.00 each. 
MICHIGAN WHITE S. C. (Keiser) One 
of the very best of the white cut-

well when cut. Blooms are of medium

in its class. Root, 70c each.

bi-color Dahlias we have ever had the 
pleasure of growing. A beautiful color 
combination of purple tipped white. 
This Dahlia in the past season won at 
fhe A.D.S. Show in New York the 
President’s Cup for the best basket of 
bi-colored Dahlias. A strong growing 
plant with insect-resistant foliage.

well above the plant. Root, 80c each.

Ford of Autumn 
PINK GIANT. Large flowers of bright, 
clear, rose-pink. A great favorite with 
garden visitors and a fine show flow- 
er. It is a border line variety as to 
type; being a true semi-cactus under 
some conditions when fully matured. 
Root, $1.25 each. 
THE GOVERNOR F. D. (Dahliadel) A 
large, bright, sulphur yellow, which is 
definitely a formal. True formals are 
scarce and this is a welcome addition.

the tips, giving the flower good depth. 
One of the leading winners in its class 
the past season. Root, $1.35.
