FITCHETT DAHLIAS Page 3 
Probably the two most frequently mentioned 
Dahlias the past year have been ‘GENERAL EISEN- 
HOWER,” a vivid red Belgian cactus (See page 12) 
and “IKE,” an American dark red miniature formal 
variety. (See page 5) Not every man has had two 
such outstanding Dahlias named in his honor. 
Could it be that all the Dahlia Fans voted for 
General Eisenhower, giving him the largest popular 
vote ever received by a presidential candidate?
