DR. JOHN F. MORSE A-ID-DrR  (Olesen- 
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. 
Root $2.00, Plant $1.00 
*DRUM MAJOR A-ID-R_~ An Australian 
which has everything a good dahlia 
should have. Massive blooms on good

ers. We believe it is destined to take 
its place alongside such favorites as 
Kelvin and Pop Harris, from that same 
ear country. Size | 1x6.
