This very unusual dahlia is a silvery white splashed 
with rose pink and lavender. Unusual, because it has 
a double row of white petaloids as long as the florets, 
giving the bloom an exquisitely graceful and feathery 
appearance. Both petals and petaloids show green gold 
at the base. We frequently have stems three feet long 
without special cultivation. A tall attractive plant. Un- 
excelled for gardens or cutting. The finest collarette we
