Our Own Introductions 
For 1934 
Heatherbloom—I. Dec. 
As the name implies, the color of the flower is a rich rosy 
purple with shadings of white. The formation of the flow¬ 
er is much like a large recurved chrysanthemum 6-8 inches 
deep and the same across without disbudding. Early, and 
extremely free flowering. Height 3-4 feet. A distinct nov¬ 
elty. No other Dahlia just like it. 
“New Deal” Prices. Roots $5.00 net, Limited. Plants $2.50 
Mrs. Austin D. Boss—F. Dec. 
If you want to take a prize for the largest bloom this va¬ 
riety will not win it for you perhaps; but if you appreci¬ 
ate beauty in a medium sized flower this certainly will meet 
with your approval. The color is a soft flesh pink on a 
white base; size of bloom 5-6 inches on long stems; height 
of plants uniformly 4 ft., clean growth; free flowering and 
fine keeping qualities when cut. 
Roots $3.50; Plants $2.00 
Ruby Tait—I. Dec. 
We released a few roots of this variety in 1933 and from 
reports it proved to be all we claimed for it and then some. 
The artistic formation and wonderful color give a most 
charming effect; color, citron yellow with pencilings of 
pink; large flowers on strong stems, clean healthy growth.

Novelties From Other 
Growers 
City of Royal Oak—S. Cac. 
(White-Reynolds). This novelty is rather hard to describe 
as to color, russet salmon with deep rose suffusions would 
come nearest; very free flowering it has to be rigidly dis¬ 
budded to get the best results. Won first prize Detroit, 1933, 
for the best undisseminated, variety. 1933 Roll of Honor.
