Horistan Gardens BEAUTIFUL PEDIGREED DAHLIAS 
Since space in this list is limited we have not endlessly 
repeated descriptions of qualities that each of our 
dahlias share. Every FLORISTAN GARDENS PEDI- 
GREED DAHLIA presented here has a long, strong vital 
stem, except one, and the description of this carries nota- 
tion of its short length. Each bloom has good facing 
habits. Each dahlia is strong, healthy and disease-re- 
sistant. In fact, all conform to the finest dahlia standards.

BRIDESMAID f.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 8” x 7”. 
Bush 6’. 
Silvery pink with the silver showing in the veinings and 
in a sheen over the broad and pointed petals. These 
twist and turn to such a degree as they ball toward the 
back that this dahlia also could be called an Informal. 
Foliage is a bright green. This is one of our favorites as 
it has all the fine Floristan Gardens’ good points. $1.00.
