DAHLIAS 
Aiko 
AIKO (Dahliadel 85), 1932, g e, Bloom 10 x 4%, 
Bush 454 ft. This dahlia has been given the Jap¬ 
anese name “Aiko” (pronounced I’ko), as its color 
and form suggest the Orient. One of, if not the 
most spectacular dahlia, we have ever introduced. 
It is large and striking in color. Cardinal or 
deep carmine, with a silver reverse showing at 
the centre and tips, making it unusual. Bushes 
are strong, open growers. Reacts wonderfully 
well in heavy soil. This dahlia occasionally 
throws a flower off-form, which is easily forgotten 
in comparison to the number of perfect blooms, 
and we believe it will give you the satisfaction 
it has given us. As additional reports of the 
good behavior of this dahlia come in to us from 
all over the country, we find it is a much greater 
dahlia than we realized when it was introduced. 
Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25 
GOOD WILL (Nuneviller), c g e, Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 4 ft. Large attractive blooms of violet rose 
with bright rose shadings. The center is shaded 
sulphury yellow. Fine habits of growth and a 
handsome bush with strong, slender stems. This 
dahlia was not shown much as stock is still scarce, 
but it is sure to become very popular in the garden 
and on the exhibition table for its dainty color¬ 
ing and exhibition qualities. Plants, $3.50 
RUDY VALLEE (Broomall-Success 85), 1931, g e, 
Bloom 11 x 6, Bush 5 ft. One of the finest 
dahlias of recent introduction. It has size, beauty, 
keeping qualities and is very atttractive. Flowers 
are full-centered and are held well above the 
clean-cut foliage, on long, straight stems. Growth 
vigorous. A magnificent dahlia that you should 
have. A. D. S. Cert. Color, reddish apricot, 
gold center. Roots, $4.00; Plants, $2.00
