and the blooms can be cut with stems up to 4 feet in

ning out of the branches, in fact it gives best results 
to allow it to grow at will, as its great vigor will bring 
every bloom to large exhibition size regardless of the 
number on the plant. Midseason to frost. Winner 
of The American Home Achievement Medal at the 
Camden, N. J., Dahlia Society Show, October 9th, 
1933. Also the Hurley Store Silver Trophy for the

MONMOUTH QUEEN, F. D. (Kemp) In this fine

piric yellow in the center of the flow'ers, with grada¬ 
tion of light primrose to cream yellow rear petals. 
Flowers are full centered, 10 inches and over across 
and 4 to 5 inches deep, and are held facing front on 
long stiff stems high above the luxuriant bright green 
foliage. Plant is a vigorous grower, wide spreading, 
with many branches and very prolific of large perfect 
exhibition blooms from early to end of season. Very 
resistant to injury from insect attacks. Height 5 to 6 
feet. Winner in the undisseminated seedling class at

ORIENTAL GLORY. (Swartz) Plants grown from 
roots or cuttings never experience a set-back, but 
show continuous growth. Pleight, 5^ to 7 feet, de¬ 
pending on soil conditions and growing methods. 
Stems are stiff and strong, holding flowers at just the 
ideal angle for any purpose. Average length of stem, 
18 to 24 inches. Foliage is a dark, pleasing green, 
deeply veined with the feel of Morocco leather. 
Leaves are long and broad with a slight twist to en¬ 
hance their beauty. Flowers are informal decorative 
and will average 8 to 10^4 inches in diameter by 3 to 
5 inches in depth and are produced in great profusion. 
We have had 12-inch flowers, but they are not the 
average. Continuity of bloom does not decrease their 
size materially. Color: brilliant, dazzling, glowing 
balls of deep orange is the appearance from a dis¬ 
tance, a color which catches the eye and draws you 
to its irresistible beauty. The color is cadmium 
orange overlaid with scarlet; center and reverse 
heavily shaded scarlet. No other dahlia with the 
beautiful color of Oriental Glory. Chumps very large, 
necks stiff. Insect resistant. Awarded a Certificate 
of Merit at Storrs, Conn., in 1932 with a score of 85.
