MRS. E. J. B-StC-Pi (Rocky River) The 
record of this bright pink cactus 
has justified the pride we took in it in 
naming it in honor of our wife. It is 
a strong grower producing an abund- 
ance of flowers on rigid stems. Petals 
have exceptionally good substance giv- 
ing the flower unusual keeping qualities, 
a characteristic that has endeared it to 
florists. Cleveland florists prefer it to 
any dahlia in our fields. Perfection of 
form has made it a fine exhibition 
variety, having won ‘'best in show’ at 
several shows. 
Root $3.00, Pot Root $2.25, Plant $1.50

MRS. HESTER A. PAPE A-ID-Pu (Pape- 
Rocky River) Another of our 1946 in- 
troductions that scored heavily in many 
shows thruout the country. It is classed 
as a purple but the color is one which 
is usually referred to as red, actually a 
reddish purple. It is a dahlia anyone 
can grow and grow well, and it is a 
dahlia which will stand “forcing.” A 
real delight to the exhibitor. Size 10x5. 
Root $5.00, Pot Root $3.50, Plant $2.00
