chamois, with salmon tints. Petals very wide and

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, F. D. (V & M) This 
huge formal decorative dahlia was easily the out¬ 
standing sensational new dahlia at the New York 
Show. A new white with a very promising future. 
It is a flower of great beauty in spite of its size. It 
won the champion seedling class at Bryn Mawr, Pa., 
and won in numerous shows throughout Wisconsin 
and Illinois. Add to these outstanding achievements 
in a very trying year, the facts that it is a most pro¬ 
lific bloomer, has an excellent stem, and robust 
growth, and you come very nigh having a perfect 
white dahlia. On the 1933 Honor Roll. Named by 
special permission of Mrs. Roosevelt. Plants $7.50 
each. 
ELEANOR M. RADELL, I. D. (Felsinger) Honor 
Roll, 1933. “Coral-pink, shading to deep rose center, 
appeals because of its really clean-cut beauty and its 
very fine growing habits.”—Derrill W. Hart. A large 
flower on A-1 stem. Roots $10. Plants $3. 
ELEGANCE, S. C. (Reed) Center and tips of 
petals yellow, body of flower glistening coral. We 
classify this variety as semi-cactus but it is not far 
removed from the true cactus type. A noticeable 
swirl to the petals is also reminiscent of certain Eng¬ 
lish type cactus varieties of some years back. Few 
Dahlias have been so cordially received on their first 
appearance as this one and we consider it one of our 
very best varieties because of its unusual charm and 
beauty and because the great quantity of blooms it 
gives are useful for every purpose. It is a full, deep 
flower with ideal habits. Last year Mr. Darrill Hart 
asked for more cactus Dahlias and we are respond¬ 
ing promptly. In placing it on the 1933 American 
Home Roll of Honor he says: “A most pleasing 
variety of primrose yellow with pale mauve shadings 
on outer petals. I had this on trial and it produced 
a wealth of bloom of very pleasing and artistic ap¬ 
pearance.” Root $15. Plant $7.50. 
FRANK GOOD, I. D. (Almy-Dr. Crooks) One of 
the most popular Dahlias in our gardens; a beautiful 
warm buff with salmon tints. A large bloom on extra 
long, wiry stems. Fine cut flower. Roots $10. 
Plants $3.50. 
GRANDEE, I. D. (Reed) Light nopal red shaded
