JERSEY'S SWEETHEART (Waite 82), c g, 
Bloom 7 x 3J4, Bush 3J4 ft. A dainty, attractive 
variety for cutting. Delice pink, shading to white 
in the centre. Flowers produced in great quanti¬ 
ties on slender, stiff stems. .35 
JOSEPHINE G. (Grosscross 85), c g e, Bloom 
8x4, Bush 4^4 ft. One of the most charming of 
the recent introductions. Color is a very pleasing 
true rose pink of a bright shade, some petals 
tipped yellow. It makes a wonderful sturdy 
bush, with flowers held well above the dense 
foliage. It is a prolific bloomer, and yet the 
flowers are of exhibition quality at the same time. 
It is a semi-cactus early and informal decorative 
at the end of the season. A. D. S. Cert. 
Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
MABEL S. DOUGLAS (Thompson 83), g e, 
Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 ft. This dahlia is of artis¬ 
tic formation with long, curled, pointed petals. In 
color it is a beautiful pastel lavender. We believe 
this dahlia will do well in heavy soil. It needs 
staking and can be disbudded according to Draw¬ 
ing X or Z. Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
MARYLAND ORANGE (Maryland D. G.), 1932, 
c g e, Bloom 8x4, Bush 5 ft. A bright orange 
with orange cadmium shadings that will attract 
much attention. Good commercial color and type. 
It is especially adaptable for baskets. A good 
keeper, and blooms freely. Plants, $1.00 
OLIVE WRIGHT (V. & M. 84), g e, Bloom 
10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. Large and striking, rather 
loose formation of broad petals. A strong grower 
with long stems. Color buff shaded and suffused 
coral red. Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
PALO ALTO (Ballay-Success), 1933, g e, Bloom 
10 x 6, Bush 6 ft. Clear, bright salmon shading 
toward gold at the centre. Stems tall and straight. 
Flowers are of good substance with uniform, full 
centres. It won the Achievement Medal in De¬ 
troit as the finest bloom in the show with Robert 
Emmet second, and they were so close it was 
almost a toss-up. Certified at Storrs. A variety 
we can highly recommend. Plants, $3.75 
ROBERT E. LEE (Peacock 84), g e, Bloom 
8J4 x 4, Bush 5 ft. A rich red that does not 
fade is decidedly uncommon, and that is what 
attracts you to this dahlia, along with its good 
form, erect stems, and free-blooming habits. To 
get stems for cutting, follow Drawing Y. 
Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
SATAN (Ballay-Success 85), g e, Bloom 10 x 4, 
Bush 6 ft. Color, scarlet with yellow on reverse 
of petals showing at the centre as petals unfold. 
Stems are very long and may need some support 
in hot weather. Very showy in the garden. 
Bushes tall and rugged. Flowers are uniformly 
large and of regular formation, keeping well when 
cut. Scored 87 at Storrs. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
SISKIYOU (Broomall 80), g e, Bloom 10 x 3, 
Bush 3 Yi ft. Here we have the dahlia that has 
won in the largest bloom class repeatedly, but 
on diameter, not considering depth. Flowers held 
erect on long, strong stems. Color, pink tinted 
mauve. Petals rather blunt and flat. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (Nolet), c g e, Bloom 
8x4, Bush 4 ft. Inclined to the semi-cactus 
type with a high, full centre. Pure white with 
numerous pointed petals. The dense, dark green 
foliage makes a beautiful plant and sets off the 
lovely, white blossoms, enhancing their waxy ap¬ 
pearance. Plants, .75 
DAHLIA SOCIETY OF NEW JERSEY 
This season the D. S. of N. J. held its show with the Federated Garden Clubs of N. J. at a meeting 
in East Orange on October 9 where our worthy President, J. W. Johnston, ably conducted a gorgeoius 
exhibit. We furnished a showing of the different types, and exhibited especially arrangements of miniatures 
for the stage decoration, and much enthusiasm was shown for the possibilities of these small dahlias. 
You will find this society wide awake in the promotion of the dahlia, and the monthly periodical, N. J. 
Farm and Garden, is included in the dues of $2.00 a year.
