AMELIA EARHART, S. C. (Cordes Eastman) This 
variety is undoubtedly the champion exhibition flow¬ 
er of the year, and has made, I believe, the most im¬ 
pressive first-year show record of any Dahlia, at any 
time. Winning the following awards; The American 
Home Sweepstakes Medal at New York, American 
Home Achievement Medal at Baltimore, Best Undis¬ 
seminated Seedling at Pennsylvania Horticultural So¬ 
ciety Show also at Richmond, Va., Best Semi-cactus 
Seedling at New York, Baltimore, Atlantic City and 
Los Angeles, and Largest and Most Perfect Bloom 
at Baltimore and Los Angeles County Fair. It is a 
very large and artistically formed combination of 
apricot-buff with primrose at the base of each petal, 
with tints and sometimes stripes of salmon. Its 
record places this Dahlia in the ranks of the super 
exhibition varieties. Roots $10. Plants $3.50. 
BARBARA JEAN, I. D. (Kokoms D. Gdns.) A 
flower that immediately attracts attention; a mag¬ 
nificent color, pansy purple; changing to tyrian rose, 
with the tips a mallow purple. Flowers are large and 
the keeping qualities are excellent; they will last a 
week after cutting. An informal decorative that you 
will like. Roots $5« Plants $2. 
BONDALINE, 1. D. (Hipskind) A very high scor¬ 
ing Dahlia from the Northwest. A beautiful, deep 
red with petals very attractively curled. A splendid 
keeper, on very long, stiff stems. A fine cut flower 
and very useful for basket or vase. Roots $3. Plants 
$1.50. 
BUBBLES OF HILLCREST, I. D. (Scott) The 
most unusual dahlia we have ever grown. Giant 
bloom. We do not guarantee this dahlia to produce 
tubers as the chlorophyll is very dark and it does not 
make starch necessary to make many or large tubers. 
All available tubers have been sold. We are offering 
a few plants. Color: An unusual shade of Magenta, 
as it cannot be found in Maerz and Paul. Plants 
only, $5 net. 
CLAIRE DE LUNE (Light of the Moon), I. D. 
(Cordes) A very artistic formation on best of stems, 
blooms held well out of foliage. Honor Roll and 
winner of American Home Achievement Medal for 
most worthy new Dahlia at Los Angeles. Twice win¬ 
ner as Largest Bloom. Color given as sulphur yel¬ 
low. With me it had a distinct orange tinge. Roots 
$4. Plants $2. 
DANCING SULTANA, S. C. (Newsom) A glorious 
new origination, of great size and most remarkable 
coloring—a bright lacquer red. Petals are most artis¬ 
tically curled and twisted with centers dark and full. 
Stems, exceptionally good, long, strong and straight. 
Bush tall and vigorous. Roots $3. Plants $1.50, 3 
for $4*
