PRIDE OF WISCONSIN, 1. D. (Mrs. W. A. Dela- 
porte) A modern, super Dahlia that has been a sen¬ 
sation in Wisconsin for the past two years. Un¬ 
questionably the best seedling ever originated in the 
state of Wisconsin. Pride of Wisconsin ranks with 
the best Roll of Honor Dahlias of recent years, and 
far surpasses many. Description: Informal Decora¬ 
tive, of an American Beauty color, with pointed and 
irregular petals. A prolific bloomer, having from 4 
to 6 blooms at all times during blooming season with 
individual blooms being 10 inches and upward in 
diameter and from 4 to 5 inches in depth. Rigid dis¬ 
budding is not necessary to produce enormous blooms. 
Late blooms equal to early ones. The thick, stif¥ 
stems hold the blooms in an upright position, and can 
be cut to a length of three feet. The plant is a good 
brancher and grows to a height of from 6 to 7 feet. 
The foliage is extra heavy and dark green in color, 
which insects do not bother. For best results, pinch 
back once. Planted during the third week of May, 
it will bloom about August 15. A very generous root 
producer with large, round roots, having a good num¬ 
ber of eyes. Pride of Wisconsin has been grown for 
three years and won as the Best Seedling at the 1931 
Wisconsin show. It was not entered for competition 
in 1932, but attracted unusual attention while on dis¬ 
play during a naming contest at the 1932 Wisconsin 
show. Roots $7. Plants $3. 
RUBY TAYLOR, I. D. A monster bloom of ruby 
red to carmine. Stem O. K. A Certificate of Merit 
winner. One of the best in our gardens. Roots 
$7.50. Plants $3.50. 
SAGAMORE PRINCE, I. D. (Dr. Shattuck) Win¬ 
ner of Certificate of Merit at Storrs. Color given at 
Trial Gardens, carmine, blended with rose red, back 
of petals almost cream color. First flower comes in 
the crotch, the others have good stems. A strikingly 
beautiful flower of 9 inches diameter. Plant 3 ft. A 
wonderful keeper, it blooms late; just right for the 
Shows. Roots $2. Plants $1. 
SAMPSON’S No. 200, I. D. (Sampson) A monster 
flower on a cane-like, and very long stem, which al¬ 
ways holds the giant blooms erect. Color a lovely, 
soft, chamois with soft rose suffusion. A fine exhi¬ 
bition variety. Plant very sturdy. A good one. Roots 
$3. Plants $1.50, 3 for $4. 
SATAN, S. C. (Ballay-Success) An immense flam¬ 
ing red cactus with touch of gold at the center. 
Grown to over 13 inches which is very remarkable for 
a cactus. No Dahlia in the world, we believe, is 
more sensational and spectacular than this giant cac¬ 
tus, while its tightly rolled and horn like petals com¬ 
plete a formation that is very attractive. Winner of 
Best Flower at both San Francisco Shows. At New 
York it was runner up for largest Dahlia, and on both 
Eastern and Western Rolls of Honor in 1931. Roots 
$9. Plants $4, 3 for $10. 
SCHMIDT’S No. 10, Dec. (Schmidt) A very large 
flower of 10 inches, and deep, on rigid stems which 
hold the great flower, at least, a foot above a sturdy 
bush, of 3 ft. in height. The color is different from 
any Dahlia yet produced, a beautiful golden bronze
