INFORMAL DECORATIVE DAHLIAS—Continued 
HARRIET HOCTOR (Ailing 85), 1931, g e, 
Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 5 ft. A very satisfactory 
dahlia of wonderful size and color. The stems 
tip a little in the extreme heat with the weight 
of the flower. Color, bright mauve with magenta 
shadings, giving a bright purple effect. Bushes 
strong and healthy. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
JANET SOUTHWICK (Chapman), 1932, g e. 
This distinctive variety of exhibition size has 
made many friends the past season. It is unusual 
in color which shades between Tyrian rose and 
Burgundy red. Plants are clean growing with 
dark, heavy foliage. Stems are long and erect, 
carrying flowers well above the foliage. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
JERSEY’S DAYBREAK (Waite 84), c g e, Bloom 
8x4, Bush 6 ft. This much-admired dahlia is 
Hermosa pink, shading to creamy yellow in the 
centre. Flowers are of good size with high 
pointed centres and hold their splendid form 
throughout the season. The stems are rigid and 
the foliage is of a leathery texture. One of the 
few dahlias that develops in water.

JERSEY’S SOVEREIGN (Waite 80), g e, Bloom 
7J4 x 4, Bush 6 ft. A dahlia worthy of anyone’s 
growing. A good grower, early bloomer, of 
pleasing shade of salmon orange. .35 
KATHLEEN NORRIS (F. & M. 87), c g e, Bloom 
10 x 5, Bush 5J4 ft. This outstanding exhibition 
dahlia is a true rose pink, deepening to mallow 
pink, with young central petals a lighter shade. 
Petals are broad and overlap each other. Blooms 
are held erect on long, strong stems. This dahlia 
to do its best should not be planted before June 
15th, or if planted early should be topped rather 
severely about the middle of July with condi¬ 
tions as we have them in New Jersey.

KEMP’S VIOLET WONDER (Kemp 85), g e, 
Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. The predominating color 
of this fine dahlia is bright violet purple with 
faint bluish violet at tips of petals. Deep flowers 
of perfect form. Stems are stiff, holding flowers 
well above the foliage. A truly outstanding 
variety, keeping well when cut. Plant is a pro¬ 
lific bloomer, strong grower, not susceptible to 
sucking insects. D. S. of N. J. Cert.

MARGARET W. WILSON (F. & M. 83), g e, 
Bloom 9x4, Bush 4J4 ft. An easy variety to 
grow, producing a profusion of huge blooms.

giving an opalescent effect. D. S. of N. J. Cert.

MRS. ALFRED B. SEAL (Seal 82), g e, Bloom 
11x5, Bush 6 ft. A beautiful glowing combi¬ 
nation of old rose and violet rose. This dahlia 
responds to good culture but does best where 
growing season is long. Disbud according to 
Drawing Z. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE (Murphy-Success 
86), g e, Bloom 10x4, Bush 4 ft. The monster 
blooms of deep, dark red shading toward garnet 
are held erect on stiff stems. It is a stocky 
grower and in all a good dahlia. Comparing this 
variety with Dwight W. Morrow, it has better 
stems, but is not as bright a shade of red, nor 
does it stand the amount of sunshine Dwight 
Morrow does without burning. Plants, $3.75 
PRINCE REGENT (Hall 84), 1931, g e, Bloom 
9x4, Bush 4J4 ft. A dahlia that is easy to grow 
and, although a compact grower, stems are of 
good length. Color, clear salmon buff, shading to 
gold in the centre. A good root maker and 
keeper. $1.00 
SANHICAN’S BLUEBIRD (F. & M. 80), g e, 
Bloom 714x314, Bush 4^4 ft. A pleasing near 
to blue decorative with outer petals of bright 
violet blue, while the centre petals retain the 
violet tint. An attractive flower on wiry stems. 
.35 
WATCHUNG WONDER (Smith 85), g e, Bloom 
10 x 6, Bush 5 ft. A spectacular, rich, royal red 
with a touch of gold at the tips of the petals, 
with an occasional yellow petaloid to enhance its 
beauty. Stems are strong with blooms facing 
upward. Flowers have unusual keeping qualities 
as the back petals can be removed when withered 
and the centres will open out to perfect blooms. 
Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50
