Bush 5’. 
A flaming Imperial yellow and scarlet. Very compact 
petals, rather flat and evenly placed: The straightness 
of the stems, the placement of the blooms, and the sub- 
stance of the flower make this an outstanding dahlia.

fresh. Wonderful for shipping and arrangements. A 
heavy bloomer. This is one of our finest creations. Took

land; Portland Gold Cup and other awards...... $1.00

wedding flower and beautiful in the garden....... 75¢c

Bush 4’. 
Two tones of luscious cobalt rose with silver reverse 
and silver into cream at the high, pointed center, give 
this medium large dahlia a delicate and fragile look. 
Yet, robust in the garden and long lasting in arrange- 
ments, it is sturdy in character. The dense foliage is 
different from that of any other dahlia’s, being almost 
like that of the tomato and a light spring green in 
color, AY 1948 Introduction..........20 42s $3.00

When the bud opens, the folded florets are a bright 
wine color. As they mature and flatten out, this shade 
concentrates into several delicate hair lines that vein 
each brilliant Imperial yellow petal. There is no suf 
fusion of color. This is one of Floristan Gardens’ best, 
both for cutting and as a garden type. The bloom stays 
on the bush for days and does not shatter........ $1.00
