pink, veiled white, especially at 
end of petals, making a very 
attractive and appealing color.

forming a_ round, full, deep 
flower. Blooms are held high and 
facing on strong, wiry stems 
that hold up under rainy 
weather conditions. Blooms last 
long on the bush or when cut. 
This surely is a lovely flower of 
beauty and charm and a “must” 
for those who have seen it grow- 
ing in our gardens. An early 
bloomer and good grower, at- 
taining a height of about 4% 
feet. Judges at American Dahlia
