Le ANN H. f.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 24%" x 142". 
Bush 3’. 
This wee dahlia is a true light pink in one tone, but with 
a suggestion of silver under the pink that you almost 
feel rather than see. The bloom faces up and the bush 
looks like a huge bouquet all during the blooming sea- 
son. The foliage is heavy and stiff for the size of the 
plant. We had the experience of cutting a dozen or so 
Le Ann one very hot day. We were called away and 
meaning to come back shortly, lay those we had cut 
down on the ground. We forgot about them for several 
middle afternoon hours. When we picked them up they 
were as perky as when they were still on the bush. We 
put them in water from the tap without any immersing 
the stems in boiling water or giving them any treatment, 
and they lasted a week in a good fresh condition. We 
think Le ANN H is going places. A 1947 Introduc-

MARY’S BABY single (Floristan Gardens) Blooms 22”. 
Bush 4’. 
The petals of this 1947 Introduction are a brilliantly rich 
rosy pink. It's the bright pink of the pink in beet leaves, or 
the vivid pink in some begonia leaves. There's a sug- 
gestion of gold, more like a dusting over the surface than 
in the color itself. This dahlia blooms from early in the 
season to frost. It's delightful in the garden...... $1.00 
MRS. FRANK GORDON JAMES min. f.d. (Floristan Gar- 
dens) Bloom 342” x 24%”. Bush 4’. 
A true pink—a brilliant flower. Very formal, evenly 
placed petals. Exceedingly long stems. This dahlia can 
be cut in the halfopened state and shipped long dis- 
tances. Will open in water with undiminished rich color 
and full size. Bushy plants with well placed laterals. 
One of our own favorite miniatures, and particularly 
valued by florists for its sturdiness and beauty. ..$1.00

A charming small maize yellow dahlia shaped like a 
cosmos and with the characteristic cosmos staghorn 
petals. A new type of which we are exceedingly proud. 
Especially graceful and pretty in arrangements. The fo- 
liage is also unusual and resembles holly sprays. .50c

Bush 3’. 
The North End Garden Club of Seattle named this 1947 
Introduction. The color is scarlet — lovely, rich scarlet, 
but the interest lies in the feeling of movement given by 
placement of the petals. These are very long and sweep 
back from the tight, high pointed center, almost to the 
stem. It's a mass of scarlet the whole season...... $1.00 
NINE O'CLOCK min. f.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 
2Ye” x 12”. Bush 442’. 
This is the brightest of clear reds with an odd charac- 
teristic. 95% of the blooms have one slender hair line 
of bright yellow, which is usually in the position of the 
hour hand at nine o'clock. The petals are exceptionally 
broad and free for such a small flower, giving it the 
look of a soft rosette. The center is exceedingly tight, 
the stems, very long. This dahlia has substance. ..75c
