NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
MRS. DAYTON LAMONT g^Ea™'^ 
variety was raised by Mr. Dayton Lamont of Palmyra, N.J. A 
very strong sturdy grower, producing the 8 inch and very full 
flowers facing on straight stiff stems. Color, a soft salmon lilac 
overlaid and shaded deep lilac pink. Roots $5.00 each; plants 
$2.50. 
MRS. ROBERT H. GROFF cjg* Thi^in ti» 
tors, is the best pure white cactus. It is of medium size, 5 to 6 
inches, and an extremely profuse bloomer. The petals are long, 
narrow and beautifully curled. The buds are long and pointed; 
the flowers, perfect and full to the center. An ideal variety for 
garden and cutting. Roots $2.50; plants $1.25. 
T)T? a nr\CTC Giant Ball. This is not the old ball variety sent 
J-J^AV^W^JV by Turner j n lg77i and which we discarded 
twenty-five years ago because it was not up to our standard, as 
represented by the Frank Smith type. We named it because no 
"Peacock" could be more gorgeous, and the old variety was not 
in commerce. The plant is dwarf and branching. The flowers are 
large for this type, and arc produced freely on long erect rigid 
stems — in marked contrast to "Our Country," beside which it 
was tested out. The flowers are always perfectly formed, while 
the color is that rich crimson-purple, with each petal tipped white. 
"It is a great Dahlia" is the consensus of all our visitors. Roots 
$5.00 each; plants $2.50.

long straight stems. Roots $3.00 each; plants $1.50.

NEW INTRODUCTIONS OF 1924 
DREAM O' LOVE Paeon* One of the most strikingly 
effective of this class. Ihe flowers 
are of large size and beautiful form, with outer petals reflated, 
whorled and twisted; while the inner petals are also whorled and 
twisted, but incurve. The color is the brightest, most luminous 
geranium red, richly shaded, and each petal is distinctly tipped 
yellow. The flowers have great depth and substance; are splen- 
did for cutting and decorations. The plant is a very sturdy grower 
of branching habit and produces the flowers freely on stiff stems, 
making it an ideal garden plant. Roots $1.00 each. 
DR STEM P aeon y- T' lc best °f a " re< ^ paeony flowered 
dahlias. Entirely distinct in every way. The 
early flowers are 8 to 10 inches in diameter, are produced erect on 
cane stiff stems and arc full to the center. The later flowers are 
of the same size but of beautiful paeony form, in many cases the 
yellow center is completely covered with fantastically formed 
inner petals. The color is a bright scarlet red, reflex engenia red. 
The plant is a sturdy, vigorous grower. An acquisition that will 
find its way into every paeony collection. 4 ft. Roots $2.50. 
ELIZABETH B. FITLER Hybrid Cactus. A new 
variety that appeals, one 
that we never tire of. It is everything that Etcndard de Lyon is 
not. The flowers are larger, much fuller, on long, slender, stiff 
stems and were the first to bloom in our trials and were a mass of 
long stemmed, perfectly full flowers, when killed down by frost. 
Also the color is better, being a true purple, with a reflex of phlox 
purple. The plant is a free grower, with rich dark green foliage. 
The best of this class and color. 5 ft. Roots $2.50. 
GLADYS PEACOCK Decorative. A massive flower 
that lasts longer than any other 
variety on the plant, with the possible exception of Colossal Pink. 
The flowers are of immense size and borne facing on very long, 
stiff stems. The color is lemon yellow at base of petals, shading 
to rose; reflex rose, veined, light mallow purple. The plant is a 
very strong, vigorous grower and a free bloomer for such a 
gigantic flower. The form is fine, with very full high pointed 
center. A splendid exhibition variety, and the kind we all like 
to give our friends, but most too large for commcrcial cut flowers. 
7 ft. Roots $3.00 each; plants $1.50. 
GOLDEN GEISHA Cactus Paeony. A cross of Golden 
Gate and Geisha, and a great ac- 
quisition to the paeony class. Color clear, light canary yellow 
with a scarlet suffusion or blotch on each petal, most effective. 
The form is hybrid cactus and perfectly full at first, but later 
shows the Geisha form as well as a bright and refined Geisha color. 
The plant is a very strong vigorous grower and free bloomer, with 
good, long, stiff, graceful stems, especially fine for cutting and 
artistic decorations. 5 ft. Roots $1.00. 
HARRY DEITZ Hybrid Decorative. The flowers are 
large, of wonderful texture and last a 
long time on the plant and after cutting. A very strong vigorous 
grower and profuse bloomer. Color, light lemon yellow, suffused 
and overlaid rose red, tipped lighter; a most pleasing and effec- 
tive color combination. Splendid for exhibition, cutting or the 
garden. Height 4 ft. Roots $1.50. 
HELEN RANKIN Decorative. One of the most popu- 
lar new varieties that has elicited 
the praise of the thousands of visitors at our farms. It is a cross 
of Rosa Nell and one of our seedlings. The color is lighter and 
brighter than Rosa Nell and an early and profuse bloomer on long, 
straight, stiff, slender stems. The flowers are borne erect. A 
great acquisition for the garden and as a commcrcial cut flower. 
3 ft. Roots $2.50. 
LAURA ENTREKIN Hybrid Cactus A giant new 
dahlia that will fill a long felt 
want. The color is deep rose pink, reflex pure rose pink. The 
form is absolutely perfect and borne facing on long stiff stems. 
The flowers are of great substance, lasting well on the plant and 
after cutting. In our trials it was larger than either Mrs. I. de ver 
Warner or Mrs. Salbach and better color. The plant is a very 
strong, robust grower with luxuriant foliage. 4 ft. Roots $3.00; 
plants $1.50. 
MAE GREFE Colossal Cactus. This is the largest pink 
cactus in existence. It might be called a 
giant, stiff stemmed "Colossal Peace," as it is not only larger than 
that grand old favorite but has long, stiff stems. It is a strong, 
vigorous grower and free bloomer. Color, pure pink, shading to 
rose pink, tinting lighter at center and tips of petals. A grand 
acquisition that will be universally grown. 5 ft. Roots $5.00 
each; plants $2.50 each. 
PINK ROSEBUD Cactus. One of the loveliest dahlias 
grown. As a cut flower, it is the 
best of all pink cactus and entirely distinct. The buds are long, 
pointed, and the petals unfold like a long, pointed rose bud, one 
petal at a time. The buds are carried erect, like a rose bud and 
when cut in this form, can be shipped long distances. It is perfect 
cactus form, when fully expanded, and always full to the center. 
The stems are long, straight and rigidly stiff. _ The color is pure 
pink, tinting lighter toward the center and tips of petals. The 
plant is a strong, sturdy grower, and a free and continuous bloomer 
4 ft. Roots $2.00.

troductions of 1924 for $19.00.
