GOLDEN ECLIPSE 
1934 INTRODUCTIONS 
With such an endless number of varieties being placed on the 
market each year, we can readily imagine the doubts and confusion 
that must exist in the mind of the average Dahlia “fan” who does not 
have an opportunity to personally check on these highly rated cre¬ 
ations. We are offering below a very few of those we consider as 
having real outstanding merit. One writer asks for Dahlias with 
personality. We believe this entire group has it. 
ARCTURUS (Peck) F. D. We saw this growing at the trial gardens 
last year where it impressed us as one of the most outstanding 
varieties there, and the best of the several bright reds. The color, 
scarlet red suffused deep golden yellow and yellow reverse is most 
striking. The plants make a uniform sturdy growth. Size is, of 
course, large, making an all around good variety which is going to 
be heard from for a long time.

ELINOR M. RADELL (Felsinger) I. D. This was introduced in a 
limited way in 1933. However, it is so unknown to most “fans” 
that it might well be included as a 1934 introduction. We saw it 
growing at Storrs in 1932 where it impressed us more than any other 
variety in the garden of a lot of good ones. The color is a lovely 
shell pink shading to rose at center. A very clean-cut grower and 
a pink which will make a good running mate, either as a cut 
flower or on the exhibition table, to the popular Jersey’s Beauty. 
A certificate of merit and an Honor Roll variety. The price is 
very low for a new variety of such sterling merit.

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT (Veile & Mendham) 1. D. This new white 
was the sensation of the New York show although it was not pos¬ 
sible to show only one bloom due to the previous severe storms. 
Several good whites have recently made their appearance but we 
think they will all have to bow to this namesake of our first lady. 
The blooms are very large, but in no way coarse, and face you at 
just the correct angle. The color is the purest white. An Honor 
Roll variety. We offer it with the consent and approval of the 
introducers and all orders will be supplied from their stock. 
Plants only $7.50 
GOLDEN ECLIPSE (Badetty Bros.) F. D. While we have not, of 
course, as yet grown this Dahlia, we feel certain that the origi¬ 
nators most aptly describe it in calling it a fool proof variety. Its 
clean-cut appearance is the first impression it makes on you. The 
color is a clear golden yellow shading to a warm salmon or flesh 
color at center. It is a most vigorous grower, height up to 7 feet, 
and flowering habits are excellent. Exhibition flowers may be cut 
with 4 or 5 foot stems. A certificate of merit winner at the trial 
gardens and a two time Honor Roll variety.
