THE SENSATIONAL NEW YELLOW CACTUS DAHLIA 



GOLDEN GATE 



B] 



NE of Burbank's creations ob- 

 tained ^ght years rdgo from a 

 seed in a packet of Burbank's 

 collection of Dahlia seeds. Ee- 

 ceived certificate of merit at Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society's Dahlia 

 Show, 1909, and at the exhibition of the 

 American Institute, 1912. The best all- 

 around Dahlia in existence, a sure, free, 

 medium-early bloomer, large double 

 flowers, never shows open center; a true 

 Cactus type, color yellow, shading to old 

 gold; sturdy, upright growth, not to!^e 

 compared with the sprawling-growing 

 yellow Cactus now in cultivation. As a 

 garden variety it is not surpassed by 

 any other Dahlia, as the plants become 

 one mass of golden blooms which can 

 be seen a great distance, surpassing in 

 color effect all other Dahlias. This 

 Dahlia caused a sensation at the exhi- 

 bition of the American Institute. We 

 included three blooms of Golden Gate 

 in a collection of 25 varieties of Dahlias 

 at the annual fair, 1911, of the Queens 

 and Nassau County Agricultural So- 

 ciety, winning first prize for collection, 

 competing against one of the largest 

 bulb growers of the country. The 

 Dahlia blooms at this fair were exposed 

 to a strong draft, which spoiled all the 

 other blooms in a few days, but the 

 Golden Gate blooms remained in good 

 condition all the week, on this account 

 receiving much attention and admira- 

 tion from thousands of visitors the clos- 



Vase of Golden Gate and Souv. de Qustave 

 Doazon. Compare the size.

ing days of the fair. As a cut flower it 

 rankc supreme, s^ing even though the 

 market is glutted with Golden Glow 

 'Mums. When disbudded the blooms 

 grow to a gigantic size, with stems any 

 desired length; a splendid keeper, re- 

 maining in good condition for 15 days. 

 We have grown and shipped cut blooms 

 of same to New York market for five 

 years, receiving higher prices per 100 

 blooms of Golden Gate than for any 

 other kind; in fact, we could not fill all 

 orders. 



These Dahlias have been propagated 

 eight years from tubers, consequently 

 they are of a strong and vigorous con- 

 stitution. Unlike any other Cactus 

 Dahlia, the necks are very strong, never 

 breaking in handling. This Dahlia is 

 insect' and blight proof. 



They will bloom in spite of the 

 tarnish bug, white fly, drought or mil- 

 dew. Testimonials sent on request, tell- 

 ing of the Golden Gate Dahlia bloom- 

 ing alone among dozens and hundreds 

 of varieties that failed tq^ bloom on 

 account of the above causes. This 

 Dahlia is" to Dahlias what the King 

 Humbert is to cannas, or the American 

 BeaMy is to roses. Don't fail to try 

 the Golden Gate this season; you will 

 r-'vei it'gret it. Price to the trade for 

 field-grown tubers (not pot-grown), 

 $1.00 each, postpaid; 3 for $2.75, post- 

 paid; $10.00 per dozen. No tubers sent 

 out that do not show sprouts.

 good year. Easter trade was excellent, 

 Mothers' day was a record-breaker, and 

 spring sales have been held back only 

 by the bad weather that has made the 

 season unusually late.
