Informal Decorative varieties. F. D. Formal Decorative vari- 

 eties. S. C. Semi-Cactus varieties. 



FRAU O. BRACHT-s. c. 



It won greater admiration at last year's A. D. S. Show than any other 

 Cactus Dahlia on exhibition. Its formation is beautiful, a clean-cut, straight- 

 petaled semi-cactus. It is a clear, light primrose-yellow in color. The flowers 

 are of good size but refined in appearance; the stems are strong and the 

 plant, which grows about five feet high, is quite productive. 



Price, strong divisions, SI. SO each; $15.00 doz. 



GOLDEN ECLIPSE-f. d. 



First shown in the 1934 A. D. S. Show, New York, where it won the 

 first prize, both in the Best Undisseminated and the Best Formal Dec- 

 orative Classes. At Brooklyn it won first prize as the best keeping Dahlia; 

 it also received a certificate of merit at Storr's Testing Gardens. 



The color is clear golden-yellow with slight blushes of salmon on some 

 of the petals, shading to bright, rich salmon in the center. A pleasing, 

 glowing combination of autumn colors that is as brilliant under artificial 

 light as in the open. The plant is exceptionally vigorous in growth, ranging 

 from 5 to 7 feet in height; the flowers average from 8 to 10 inches in diameter, 

 with a depth of 5 inches. They are gracefully poised on strong stems, which 

 can be cut up to four feet long. 



For the Dahlia hobbyist, Golden Eclipse is an undefeated Formal that 

 will be outstanding for its form, its brilliant color, and its keeping qualities 

 wherever shown. At the New York Show all authorities conceded that 

 Golden Eclipse was in better condition at the close of the Show than any 

 other variety on exhibition. 



Price, strong divisions, $3.00 each; $30.00 doz. 



HILLCREST MANDARIN-i. d. 



A very showy large flower, brilliant scarlet combined with golden-yellow 

 producing one of the brightest and most effective color combinations ever 

 seen in a Dahlia. The plant is a thrifty grower and free bloomer and the 

 flowers average from 9 to 10 inches across. 



Price, strong divisions, $3.00 each; $30.00 doz. 



JAMES KIRBY-i. d. 



Like a glowing ruby, this superb Dahlia possesses a dazzling brilliance 

 unlike that of any other red Dahlia in cultivation. Its exact color may be 

 described as a crimson-scarlet with ruby tones in the center, all perfectly 

 blended to produce a flower that almost scintillates like a rare jewel. In 

 size the flowers average 8 inches or over in diameter, with a depth of 5 inches. 

 They are produced on stems 3 feet or more in length, which hold the flowers 

 stiffly erect. 



The plant is extremely vigorous, ranging from 4 to 5 feet high under 

 ordinary field culture, and the foliage is clean-cut and luxuriant. It is 

 extremely popular on the New York Cut Flower Market. *

 strong stems hold the blooms (which average 10 inches 

 across) stiffly erect and partially facing upwards. 



Price, strong divisions, $7.50 each.
