JERSEY’S BEACON, Dec. (Waite) Huge flowers 
of Chinese scarlet with tan reverse. Great stems. 
Striking. Roots $1. 
JEAN KEEFER, I. D. (Keefer-Kemp) This beau¬ 
tiful Dahlia was originated by Dr. Keefer, of South 
Mountain, Pa., and named for his little daughter, 
Jean. The color is brilliant rose-pink, flowers aver¬ 
age 8 to 9 inches wide and 6 to 7 inches deep, and 
are held above the foliage on slender, but rigid, wire¬ 
like stems that can be cut 4 to 6 feet in length. 
Plants grow from 8 to 9 feet, many branched and 
very prolific of bloom. Very healthy, and practically 
insect proof. Roots $3. Plants $1.50. 
KATHLEEN NORRIS, Dec. (F. & M.) Another 
season has but added to the lustre of this most won¬ 
derful Dahlia. The judges of four leading shows gave 
it the highest awards in 1929, but its winnings in 1930, 
1931 and 1932 were legion. Blooms are of gigantic 
proportions, a true rose-pink, later deepening to mal¬ 
low pink. Broad overlapping petals with twisted 
ends, and center always full and on stems that hold 
it right up to be admired. Foliage dark green and 
leathery and positively insect proof. One of the 
most beautiful Dahlias ever introduced. Roots $1. 
KAWEAH, (Giant I. D.) (Meussdorfifer) It is the 
concensus of opinion of growers, originators, and, in 
fact, all who have seen this monster, that it is the 
largest and most wonderful Dahlia introduced to date. 
(A friend of mine, who visited Miss Meussdorffer’s 
gardens last Fall, measured three blooms that were 
each over 15 inches in diameter). Size, however, is 
onl}/- one of its good qualities as it has splendid stems, 
form and substance, glorious color, and is a wonder¬ 
ful keeper. Color is hard to describe, a deep, clear, 
rose-cerise, center of petals shading to a rich, vel¬ 
vety cardinal toward the center of the flower, and 
when fully matured, shade lighter toward the tips of 
the petals, almost mauve or orchid. Blooms of 15 
inches diameter, and very deep, are common, and 
these tremendous flowers are held perfectly erect on 
very long, extra strong, stiff stems, 18 to 20 inches 
to first lateral. The largest Dahlia ever produced 
16^^ inches, 1932. Roots $5. Plants $2. 
LEE’S PERFECTION, Cac. (Lee) A 1932 intro¬ 
duction. A clear mauve pink. Petals are fine incurv¬ 
ing. A profuse bloomer on long, and perfectly up¬ 
right stems. A splendid addition to the cactus fam¬ 
ily. Won first prize as Best Cactus Seedling at 
Washington Dahlia Society Show. Roots $3. Plants 
$1.50. 
LILLIAN B. LEE, Cac. (Lee) The largest cactus 
we have ever seen, with lacy, incurving petals of a 
beautiful cream-ivory color. The finest exhibition 
cactus ever introduced. Won Sweepstakes Silver 
Trophy for Best Seedling, also First Prize at Ta¬ 
coma, West Washington Fair, and Certificate at N. 
W. Trial Garden, also on American Home Honor 
Roll. Roots $3. Plants $1.50. 
LILLIAN’S PAL, Cac. (Lee) This is a sport of 
Lillian B. Lee and exactly like it in form and habits 
but is a beautiful canary yellow in color. Blooms 
( 20 )
