The Most Important Announcement 
Made to Dahlia Lovers in Many Years 
Judge Marean’s Dahlias 
Can for the First Time he Purchased 
For many years “Marean”* Dahlias have been the sen- 
sation of the American dahlia shows. The variety “The 
Judge’’ won the Special Grand Champion Award at the 
American Institute Show in 1919. “The Judge” is a won- 
derful combination of glowing salmon pink, red, iridescent 
orange, yellow and pure gold. 
Dahlia enthusiasts are aware that Judge Josiah T. Marean 
has never before even given away — much less sold — dahlias. 
We have persuaded him that the product of his skill should 
be available to the public; and, finally, the House of 
Scheepers has been made the distributing agent for these 
beautiful llowers. Judge Marean’s letter, here in part re- 
produced, tells the story. 
Dear Mr. Scheepers: 
Daybreak, Greens Farms, Conn. 
October 30, 1919 
T send you inclosed a list of my Dahlias. I am not, as you know, a 
grower for profit, but so many applications have come to me from would- 
be purchasers, it seems a sin to destroy this surplus. For the past ten 
years I have, each year, raised two or three thousand seedlings, among 
which I have usually found twenty or thirty in size and beauty worth 
trying out. 
I find it impossible to give any effective description of these flowers. 
They present every possible variety of form and color. None of them 
is a pure prismatic color, and each has its indescribable individuality of 
f° rm - ( signed ) Josiah T. Marean 
These superb decorative dahlias have been developed for the one 
purpose of gratifying the amateur’s love for flowers. Special bul- 
letin, with full description of each variety, mailed upon request.
