Omar Khayyam 
OMAR KHAYYAM (Stout-Dahliadel 86), 1931, 
c g e, Bloom 11x5, Bush 6 ft. This much-ad- 
mired dahlia originated by Miss Virginia Stout 
was certified with one of the highest scores at 
Storrs Trial Grounds in 1930 and was recom¬ 
mended for certificate at the New Jersey Trial 
Grounds. The unusual coloring is a Chinese red 
at the base of the petals, shading to a bright 
orange and tipped lighter, making a wonderful 
soft color effect. It is a tall, healthy grower, with 
strong foliage and, incidentally, is a good root 
maker. We classify this dahlia as a Formal Deco¬ 
rative, although the picture, which was taken 
late in the season, shows a number of petals of 
Informal formation. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
EASTERN STAR (Dahliadel 83), c g e, Bloom 
8x4, Bush 5 ft. Color, a saffron yellow with old 
gold shadings. Flowers of great substance and 
good keeping qualities, with full centres held on 
strong, erect stems. Excellent bush growth and 
free flowering. D. S. of N. J. Cert. .50 
EDWARD RINDFLEISCH (Rindfleisch), e g, 
Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 5 ft. A brilliant blood red with 
yellow shadings at the base of the petals. The 
imposing appearance is due mainly to the large, 
broad petals of the bright flowers held well above 
the foliage on strong, straight stems. Free 
bloomer. Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25 
ELIZA CLARK BULL (Boston 82), g e, Bloom 
8x4, Bush 4J4 ft. This white dahlia is an old- 
timer, but still a good seller. A free bloomer, of 
good form and substance. Bush of medium 
height, with light green foliage. .50 
JERSEY’S BEACON (Waite 85), c g e, Bloom 
9x4, Bush 4 Yi ft. Still the most spectacular of 
the Jersey family. Color, bright scarlet with a 
buff reflex, giving a two-tone effect. A free, early 
bloomer of massive proportions with sturdy stems.
