FLORISTAN’S SNOW BRIDE 
Here is a huge formal decorative that will be difficult to 
describe in other than superlatives. The white is abso- 
lutely pure, clear, sparkling, spotless, unsullied by the 
slightest hint of color. An exquisite silver sheen overlays 
each petal. Yet it is the toughest, most rugged flower we 
have ever seen. The white purity of the bloom remains 
untouched or marred after the heaviest of rains, the 
chilliest of nights, the hottest of noonday suns. Nothing 
. seems to hurt it or spoil its fragile looking beauty. The 
unusual madrona green foliage is very dense and heavy, 
although the individual leaves are not large. The stems, 
.even by FLORISTAN GARDENS standards, are excep- 
tionally long and heavy. The bloom is easily grown to 
10 inches, the bush to 5 feet. Here’s the peer of them all 
for garden beauty and use in church, hall, altar work and 
for wedding arrangements, or formal, large rooms, or 
accents in white arrangements.............-.......---.----.-- $5.00

THE RED KNIGHT 
The color of this glorious 12-inch informal decorative is 
a rich currant red. It is nearly as deep as it is wide. Excep- 
tionally long, curled and wavy petals sweep back from 
the high, pointed center to make a huge ball-like head 
of gorgeous proportions. A seedlings of DAD SMITH and 
ELEANOR FISH (two of FLORISTAN GARDEN’S proud 
creations), RED KNIGHT gives the same dependable per- 
formance as do its parents. We planted a hedge of RED 
KNIGHT in our home garden which drew ‘‘Ohs”’ and 
“Ahs" of admiration from all beholders for its dramatic, 
heavily flowered beauty. The foliage is exceedingly 
large, leathery and dense. The stems are huge and long. 
The bush is sturdy and produces a constant crop of bloom 
and a good crop of roots. .....----.2---eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ee $5.00

CREATIONS 
PINWHEEL 
There is a feeling of swirling action to this fascinating 
cactus dahlia. The exceedingly long, very slender petals 
are seemingly sprayed out from the especially high cen- 
ter. Color seems to flow swiftly, too, from the rich yellow 
of the center petals which suffuses into a flame-like rosy 
orange in the outer rows. Even cut flowers in arrange- 
ments, standing where they are motionless, seem to be, 
by optical illusion, like pinwheels—exquisite balls of 
colored fire. The blooms do not seem to be as large as 
they actually are, yet they grow to 8 inches across by 
5 inches deep. The stems, like all FLORISTAN GARDENS 
stems, are sturdy and long. The foliage is a deep, rich 
green and is heavy on the 412 -foot bush. A hardy, won- 
derful, good keeping flower and a beautiful garden

CHARLOTTE HOWITT 
This full sister to our famous BOBBE DEANE is not a 
BOBBE DEANE type but has all this wonderful dahlia’s 
grace, good keeping qualities, habits, and placement of 
flowers. The color is a pink, deeper in tone than La 
France, in the petal reverse, and a pinky tan and rich 
yellow blend on the petal face. Golden petalets, like a 
small child’s ringlets, curl around the neat, tight center. 
The blooms are two-thirds as deep as wide, growing to 
6 inches across and 4 in. deep. The rather small leaves 
are leathery but not dense on the 5-foot bush. The soft, 
glowing color, good form, and stout stems, make this 
formal decorative a coming favorite as a cut flower. Holds
