DOROTHY GEER B-FD-Pk (Geer) This was 
one of the most attractive and pleasing 
dahlias in our gardens during the past 
season. The flowers are medium sized; 
of light rose pink, shading lighter 
toward the tips. Blooms are uniformly 
of exhibition quality. This one should 
be a factor in classes calling for the 
most perfect bloom in the show. Bushes 
are tall and well formed. Size 7x3!/.

DOREEN E. 
DOUBLE DUTY B-FD-L (Hendricks) A medium sized flower for the florists’ trade and an 
exceptionally good variety for exhibition. Color varies from pink to lavender. 
Flowers are very full petaled and the petals roll well back forming a ball-shaped 
bloom. Stems are excellent and the plant is a good grower. A very free bloomer. 
Size 8x4.

DR. JOHN F. MORSE A-!D-DrR (Olsen - 
Rocky River) A heavy textured, velvety, 
dark reddish purple, more red than pur- 
ple. Plant stem and substance indicate 
it to be one that can be forced for size. 
With ordinary culture it grows ten to 
eleven inches in diameter, but has been 
grown to better than thirteen inches. 
Does not fade or burn readily, and has 
consistently performed well in the hot, 
dry summer climate of its native lowa. 
We believe that those who like to ''see 
what can be done with "'em"’ will grow 
some outstanding blooms of it.
