STEPHEN FOSTER A-IC-Or (Salem) This is one for the large cactus classes. Flowers 
are consistently ten to twelve inches in diameter. Plants are tall and very hardy; 
growing well under all conditions. Because of its all-around good habits and 
uniformly high quality, it is one of the few “first year'' dahlias that we have 
recommended. The color of the flower is orange-buff, lightly suffused with 
Tyrian rose on both the face and back of petals. Size 10x5. 
Plant $1.00 
STRAIGHT'S WHITE A-ID-W (Ruschmohr) A large, well-formed flower of pure, glistening

exceptionally vigorous for a variety of this color. Size 9!/ox5. ~
