"PRINCETONIAN" 
(A DAHLIA WORTHY OF THE NAME) Colvin-Derring-Do 
An informal Decorative Dahlia with petals blended light-orange- 
yellow and coral-pink that twist and curl from an ideal center. A 
flower 8-11 inches (and without forcing) on a stem and neck that 
is perfection beyond improvement. 
This dahlia has:—Color, size, color-stability, stem, neck, large- 
leaf, good bloomer, good root maker, good propagator and not 
“tricky” to grow. In short a grand dahlia without “Ballyhoo.” 
NOTE: This is the seedling that caused the crowd to gather and 
try to buy at the N. Y. Show in 1932, but limited stock prevented 
its sale. It’s regretable that no picture was taken of the 50 bloom 
display of it in the Brooklyn Show last October. Suffice to state 
that they were like the one checked ( V) in the display-cut of the 
1933 folder.
