this one for medium type dahlias. -It is also on all three

Barbara Lee (Carlisle) I. D. 1947. 
Very large blooms of pink and cream of most artistic 
formation and early to bloom seem to be the fine assets 
of this dahlia. Scored for a Certificate of Merit at Cin- 
cinnati Trial Grounds. We feel this dahlia should make 
a name for itself on the show tables.

Jack Francis (Carlisle) I. D. 1947. 
Tremendous blooms of deep yellow are borne on long 
straight stems. High out of the foliage. This dahlia 
scored 85 at the Cincinnati Trial Grounds. It seems to 
me this is a much wanted color on the exhibition tables.

GREEN PLANTS 
Our green plants are produced from base cuttings 
of the finest of our various varieties, and roots or 
clumps used for this purpose, are selected from our 
healthiest stock selected during the growing season. 
These cuttings are rooted in special propagating 
benches and after being well started are transferred 
to three and one-half -inch earthen pots. When the 
plants are found to be well established they are moved 
to a partially shaded place, where they become accus- 
tomed to the weather, when these plants show a definite 
trend toward new growth they are ready for our custo- 
mers. We find that the quality and size of blooms for 
exhibition are just as good as when grown from roots. 
We highly recommend plants to our customers. 
Our gardens will be in bloom from July Ist through 
October. You are welcome to visit our gardens Satur- 
days and Sundays or by appointment.
