A Neu Type Dahlia! 
HERE IT IS! 
These are exceptionally small. The single daisy-like 
flowers, some varieties of which are 34 or an inch in 
diameter, and none of which are over 1% inches 
across, have nonetheless, sturdy stems at least six inches 
long. The colors are in selfs and two tones in a range 
through the yellows, pinks and reds and are very clear 
and sparkling. The plants are compact, growing from 
one to two feet in height—wonderful for borders or low 
massing. The little bushes are literally covered with 
bloom from early summer until frost. This truly delight- 
ful new type dahlia was developed by Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles Cowan, and Dr. Hal L. Smith of Floristan 
Gardens.

BESSIE BLAKE 
Single (Floristan Gardens)

what like dogwood blossoms. They have 
a shining silver sheen. A very delicate 
lemon halo surrounds the bright gold 
disc ray. The petals are very broad with 
the bud folds remaining in ribbed lines 
into the pointed tips. Stems are long and 
heavy. It blooms prolifically 
JEANNE’S BABY

tially folds at night. The creamy white 
into gold petals are delicately suffused
