JANE DEW, I. D. pew) This is Derrill W. Hart’s 
write up: “No Dahlia in this 1932 review has, I be¬ 
lieve, a better chance of success when disseminated 
than this magnificent pink. It is, I think, the pinkest 
pink Dahlia of all the large flowered varieties.” He 
later wrote me that he regretted that he was unable 
to devote more space to the description of this mag¬ 
nificent creation. Roots $7. Plants $3. 
JANET SOUTHWICK, I.D. (Chapman) A new color 
and a different petal formation. The nearest color is 
deep tyrian rose, with a glistening rose sheen. Lovely 
in color and beautiful in formation, as petals are 
slightly incurved, and wdth horn-like points. Blooms 
9 to 12 inches in diameter, 5 inches deep. Plant ab¬ 
solutely pest proof and requires no spraying. Honor 
Roll 1931, also Best I. D. Seedling at New York. 
Roots $3. Plants $1.50. 
JEROME KERN, I. D. (Verle & Mendham) Few 
Dahlias have a more impressive show record, j^et one 
of its best points is its extreme beauty and keeping 
qualities. A long-petaled, graceful flower of shrimp 
pink with tints of gold and bronze; reverse, bright 
old rose. As petals curl at the end this color shows, 
enhancing the beauty of the whole flower. Won Best 
Undisseminated Seedling in the Gold Medal Seedling 
Class at Atlantic City, also Best Informal Decorative 
and Best Sweepstakes Seedling. Also Darnell Cup at 
New York as Best Keeper, also Best Undisseminated 
Seedling and the Court of Honor prize as Best Bloom

JEWEL OF INDIA, 1. D. (Newsom) Without ex¬ 
ception, the finest flower of its coloring we have ever 
originated. A huge, fluffy Dahlia of great depth, in 
the “Largest Dahlia” Class, of richest glowing gar¬ 
net, suffused maroon, held proudly erect on abso¬ 
lutely stiff, and exceedingly long stems. Bushes up
