best strain of dwarf Dahlias obtainable. Few blooms 
measure less than three inches. Twelve inch stems 
are profusely borne on bushy plants 18 to 24 inches 
tall. Some of the lovely new colors are—shades 
of canary yellow, scarlet, terra cotta, apricot, crim- 
son, lavender pink, purple, maroon, buff, cream, and 
white. Excellent as cut flowers. The tubers of 
those colors you like may be saved since separate 
colors of these hybrids are not possible from seed
