SEMI-CACTUS DAHLIAS 
AMELIA EARHART (Cordes-Eastman), 1933, g e, 
Bloom 12 x 6, Bush 4 ft. This gorgeous dahlia 
was a consistent winner wherever shown, having 
two American Home Achievement Medals and 
many other prizes to its credit. Color is apricot 
buff with salmon tints shading to soft yellow 
at base of petals. One might picture it as an 
improved Edna Ferber of larger size, better stems, 
and with more gold and less rose shadings. 
Plants, $5.00 
EDNA FERBER (F. & M. 85), c g e, Bloom 
9x4, Bush 5 ft. The extreme size and beauty 
of this flower attract attention wherever shown. 
The petals are curled and twisted, forming an 
extremely full flower. Color, glistening coral, 
shading to old gold at base of petals. A good 
strong grower, with dark green foliage. D. S. 
of N. J. Cert. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
JEAN TRIMBEE (Trimbee 85), 1930, g e, Bloom 
10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. Massive yet artistic with long, 
revolute petals that curl and twist. The color 
is a beautiful petunia violet making it popular 
as an exhibition dahlia. A tall, vigorous grower 
with long, erect stems. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
KARL BONAWITZ (Dahliadel 86), 1931, g e, 
Bloom 8x5, Bush 6 ft. The ability of this 
dahlia to withstand varied climatic conditions 
throughout the country has won it many friends 
and, in nearly all cases, it has gone far beyond 
expectations. The brilliant, velvety carmine 
flowers are artistic and graceful in form. Al¬ 
though dark in color for a commercial cut 
flower, it is a wonderful keeper and arranges 
well with lighter dahlias. It comes the nearest 
to developing a perfect bush without topping or 
disbudding of any dahlia we know, as it just 
naturally branches and produces perfect and uni¬ 
form blooms on long, erect stems. It responds, 
however, to disbudding (as shown in Drawings 
X or Z) and will give you stems up to 4 feet 
in length. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
MARIPOSA (Boston 83), c g e, Bloom 8x4, 
Bush 6 ft. This popular flower is of great depth 
and good form, with incurved petals. A beautiful 
pink, shading darker at the centre with a violet suf¬ 
fusion, which adds to the effect. A sturdy grower 
and great favorite. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
MINNIE EASTMAN (Eastman 85), c g e, Bloom 
8x4, Bush 6 ft. Bright flame color with under¬ 
shadings of deep yellow. Stems long and erect. 
Bushes are tall with natural branching habits. 
Foliage smooth and glossy. A profuse bloomer. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
ORIENTAL BEAUTY (Barker 84), 1930, c g e, 
Bloom 7x4, Bush 6 ft. This variety has won 
considerably in the East. The color is clear, 
bright violet rose. Petals gracefully curl and 
twist, making a very artistic and useful flower. 
Quantities of deep blooms are produced on strong, 
rugged bushes. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50
