DAVE PLATT 
DAVE PLATT F. D. to Ball (Ficrett’-Parrella)—Color, white with flush of 
mallow pink at center. In offering this dahlia, we believe that we have 
one of the finest florist dahlias. I’m sure this will replace some of the 
existing varieties. Judging from the request of the New York Florist Club, 
which was as follows: “The judges indicated that they would like to see 
this exhibit again with the required 25 blooms as it has unusual merit.” 
Average blooms three to four inches. A vigorous grower with fine branch- 
ing habit. Plenty blooms can te cut from this variety throughout the 
season, very early bloomer. We believe this is one of the finest cut flowers 
for the florist trade. 
NOTE: Dave Platt received gold medal at the New York Florist Club, Hotel 
Penn., October 14, 1946. Also, first prize in the seedling class at Jamaica,
