DAHLIADEL NURSERIES 
Buttercup #326 (Dahliadel) 
ORCHID FLOWERING DAHLIAS 
This type of dahlia is one of the most interesting 
and is popular for landscape effects, gardens, table 
arrangements and dainty decorations. The bushes 
are compact, free branching, and exceedingly pro¬ 
lific bloomers. Most of the flowers are 4 to 5 
inches in diameter, and bushes are 2 to 3 feet in 
height. They do wonderfully well when pinched 
out for landscape effect, but should not be thinned 
out nor disbudded. If orchid flowering or single 
dahlias are cut before the pollen shows, they will 
hold their petals and keep for days. 
BEAVER. Deep crimson carmine with white 
shadings on face of petals. 
CITRONELLA. Clear canary yellow ground with 
crimson carmine reverse. A charming flower. 
EVEREST. Pure white throughout. Long, grace¬ 
ful recurving florets. Good size. 
LEOPARD. Yellowish ground, with crimson re¬ 
verse spotted lighter. 
MAVIS. Light lilac ground, with deep reddish 
purple reverse. 
POLLY. Sunflower yellow ground. Carmine lake 
reverse. 
RUBY. Light ground shaded with Tyrian rose. 
Deep Tyrian rose reverse. 
STARFISH. Pale lilac ground, suffused Tyrian 
rose, with deep rosy magenta reverse.

RHODA MINIATURE SEED. This strain should 
produce dwarf bushes suitable for beds or borders, 
with mostly semi-double flowers in autumn shades. 
There will be some variations. If planted rather 
close, undesirable bushes can be removed without 
spoiling the effect. 25 Rhoda Miniature Seed, .50 
DOUBLE MIXED MINIATURE SEED. This 
mixture is made up of seed of named miniature 
varieties. 25 Double Mixed Miniature Seed, .50

from seed, averaging 3 to 4 inches in diameter, in 
all colors and shades with pink predominating. 
This is the finest strain of seed we have ever grown, 
as it produces a large percentage of full-centred 
flowers and holds consistently to the miniature 
types. 25 Dahliadel Special Miniature Seed, $1.00
