DAHLIADEl NURSERIES 
RAY WARNER (Peacock 85), 1932, c g e, Bloom 
8x5, Bush 4 ft. Can you imagine an informal 
decorative with long, pointed and twisted petals, 
on good stems, with low-branching bushes that 
need very little tying up, in a pink at least two 
shades brighter than Jersey’s Beauty? Centres 
always full, very early to bloom and a mass of 
color when not disbudded. Sure to become a 
favorite. Not a very good root maker, hence the 
difference in price on roots and plants. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $1.25 
ALICE STELLICK (Rindfleisch 83), g e, Bloom 
7J4 x 5, Bush 6 ft. Bicolor dahlias are usually 
striking, but this is unusually so. A bright crim¬ 
son carmine with a distinct white stripe in the 
centre of each petal, with occasional blooms self 
colored. The petals curl and twist, making a very 
appealing and unusual flower. Overfeeding or hot 
weather will produce weak stems at times on this 
variety. Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
CLANSMAN (Diggle 82), c g, Bloom 7x3, Bush 
4J4 ft. An attractive and useful dahlia. Blooms 
early and profusely on good stems and is of very 
good substance. Color, orange apricot with a 
golden sheen brightened by a pink suffusion. .25 
CONGRESSMAN WOLVERTON (Peacock 83), 
1931, c g e, Bloom 8x4, Bush 5J4 ft. This 
dahlia has the full, high centre of Jersey’s Beauty 
and the irregular back petals and free-branching 
habit of Rodman Wanamaker. Like the latter, it 
starts to open yellow, then develops into a lumin¬ 
ous salmon pink. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
CREAM OF THE GARDEN (Kemp), g, Bloom 
8x3, Bush 6 ft. A very dainty, sulphury white, 
faintly suffused lilac. Flowers are of good size, 
held high above the foliage on long, stiff stems, 
and are produced in profusion on strong bushes. 
A late bloomer. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
EAGLE ROCK BEAUTY (Broomall 84), g e, 
Bloom 9 x 3/4, Bush 5 ft. This fine, impressive 
dahlia certainly is a pretty combination of pastel 
pink with ivory or creamy white centre. Petals 
long and gracefully twisted. A pleasing and satis¬ 
factory variety. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
ELINOR M. RADELL (Felsinger 85), 1933, g e, 
Bloom 8x4, Bush 6 ft. The blooms, of good 
substance, are violet rose with a darker reverse 
and golden shadings toward base of petals. Cer¬ 
tified at Storrs. It is truly outstanding because 
of its strong, rugged growth which withstands 
adverse growing conditions. It qualifies equally 
well in color, stem, form, and size and is pro¬ 
lific in its flowering habits. Very satisfactory for 
us and far ahead of our expectations. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
FORDHOOK EMPEROR (Burpee 85), g e, 
Bloom 9x4, Bush 3J4 ft. A glorious blending 
of rich salmon and rose, making a general effect 
of apricot. The healthy foliage, good substance 
of the bloom and the fine growing habits of this 
striking dahlia will make it a splendid addition to 
your garden, especially for low landscape effects.
