the foliage by long, strong stems. 
Miss Elsie Jane. (S.C.) Each 80c 
This variety is continuing to win on the exhibition table, especially in 
the basket and arrangement classes, as it is just about the most artis- 
tically formed Dahlia we have ever seen. In color, too, it is unique, 
being shrimp-pink with cream shadings at center and tipped violet-rose, 
a fine and useful color combination. We heartily recommend it for 
sheer beauty.

erect. Strong stems; flowers 6 to 8 inches across and 1 to 2 inches

deep green foliage. Fine for cutting. Stems 19 inches long.

the Incurved Cactus Class, under varied conditions it will develop into a 
Semi-Cactus. Blooms 11 by 5 inches.
