MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE (Informal Decorative) 
A sensation wherever shown. A huge deep red shading to garnet and grows large 
without much encouragement. Will not burn or shed its petals, and produces monster 
blooms throughout the season. The plants are thrifty. Has been grown to 14 inches. 
If you want this one, order early. 
Roots, $7.50; Plants, $3.00 
MYRA HOWARD (Informal Decorative) 
A grand Dahlia in every respect and deserves to be rated near the top with such 
varieties as Jane Cowl, Kathleen Norris and other big fellows of spectacular coloring 
and size. Naturally a big flower, thrifty growth and plenty of blooms on extra long 
stems. Its color is gold with a rose sheen which glistens in the sunlight. Throughout 
the flower are conspicuous petalodes that give the flower distinction in both form and 
color. The plant grows tall, stems stiff and straight, foliage very dark green. 
Roots, $4.00; Plants, $2.00 
OMAR KHAYYAM (Formal Decorative) 
The unusual coloring of this huge flower is a Chinese red at the base of the petals 
shading to bright orange and tipped lighter. The growth and stem resemble Jersey's 
Beacon. Roots, $1.50; Plants, 75c. 
PALO ALTO (Semi-Cactus) 
Salmon in two tones—bright pinkish salmon throughout the flower but shading to 
salmon gold at the center. Tall straight long-jointed stems. Blooms 12 inches by 
6 inches deep. Blooms freely early and late. A Roll of Honor Dahlia. 
Roots; $10.00; Plants, $4.50 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (Informal Decorative) 
A giant red. At Redbank it won two df the Largest and Best Bloom classes in 1931. 
It was good also at New York and Asbury Park. The color is a dark, cardinal red in 
a long stemmed, long petaled, deep flower. A nice, clean grower in the garden. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, 75c. 
RISING SUN (Formal Decorative) 
One of the most interesting Dahlias of the past season. Not a large flower, but what 
a color!—a real orange tipped with gold at the center and on the outside petals. Its 
attractive coloring is decidedly different. It is an ideal flower for artistic arrangement 
or for house decorating purposes. Plants, 50c.

No Dahlia in existence has been more sensational and spectacular than this one. Horn¬ 
like petals of flaming red perfectly rolled and incurved, give rare form to a flower of

a cactus Dahlia. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.00
