HOWE F. D. (Parrella-Hulin- 
Blamer)—This is what we call 
a perfect dahlia. A fine forma- 
tion, beautiful color, exceptional 
fine stem and the very best of 
fchage. Prize winning wherever 
shown. Also a certificate winner 
from the Georgia Trial Ground. 
Color, general effects velvety 
tyrian—rose; in detail, the color 
is a cardinal red overlying mul- 
berry. The red fades as the end 
of the petal is approached, show- 
ing the underecolor of mulberry 
purple. To the whole flower 
there is a cast of red cerise. 
The petals fall back almost to 
stem, giving a ball effect. Height 
of plant, 4% feet.
