ular for landscape effects, table decorations or grace- 
ful, airy arrangements. The bushes are compact, 
free blooming and prolific. Most of the flowers are 
4 to 5 inches in diameter, and bushes are 2 to 3 feet 
in height except where noted. Wonderful for land- 
scape effect when pinched out once, but should not 
be thinned out nor disbudded. If Collarette, Orchid 
Flowering and Single dahlias are cut before the 
pollen shows, they will hold their petals and keep for 
days. od
