RED GLAMOUR A-ID-R_ (Wolbert-Rocky 
River) Big and bright, this 1948 intro- 
duction, always attracts a lot of atten- 
tion in the garden. The color is a me- 
dium shade of red with no other tints. 
Flowers have great depth giving the 
blooms a massive appearance. Like so 
many of the large ones, the stems 
sometimes seem short in proportion to 
the flowers. It is a dahlia that "likes" 
a little forcing. Size |1x6!/.

REMEMBRANCE A-SC-W (Morgan) An unusual, shaggy, white, semi cactus of large 
size. Some blooms lightly tinted lavender at the centers. Deeply cleft petals: add 
character to this profuse blooming variety. A very good grower, and it starts 
blooming early. Strong stems hold the flowers facing side, or at a forty-five degree 
angle. I+ will win at the shows, but it is really tops as a garden variety. 
Root $2.00, Plant $1.00
