Dahliadel 1934 Introductions 
BABY BEAUTY #342, (Dahliadel 87), 1934, c g e, 
Bloom 354 x 2, Bush 554 ft. As the name im¬ 
plies, this is a small Jersey’s Beauty on strong, 
erect stems, possessing all the good qualities of 
the variety it so closely resembles with better 
branching habits. Color, violet rose, shaded 
bright rose pink. This dahlia will make a hit 
in any flower shop. Plants, $1.00 
JERRY #350 (Dahliadel 84), 1934, c g e, Bloom 
354 x 2, Bush 454 ft. Color, coral red, lightly 
suffused carmine. Bright and showy, and very 
effective in landscape or arrangements with the 
autumn shades, but not very good with pinks. A 
strong grower, prolific, blooms early and good 
until frost. Plants, $1.00 
KENTUCKY BABE #345 (Dahliadel 87), 1934, 
c g e, Bloom 3x2, Bush 554 ft. The resemblance 
of this dahlia to Kentucky prompted the name. 
One of the best of our miniatures, and its wonder¬ 
ful commercial qualities already assure its popu¬ 
larity and desirability for use as a cut flower. 
Color, salmon suffused and edged old rose. 
Plants, $1.00 
PADDY #306 (Dahliadel 84), 1934, c g e, Bloom 
254 x 154, Bush 3 ft. One of if not the most 
incessant blooming dahlias we grow. Bushes are 
literally covered with blooms from early season 
until frost with centres full to the end. Color, 
flesh ground, heavily suffused deep rose pink. A 
dahlia that can be arranged equally well with 
pink or autumn shades. No disbudding needed. 
Plants, $1.00 
TEENA #349 (Dahliadel 85), 1934, c g e, Bloom 
4x2, Bush 5 ft. All the other miniatures we are 
introducing this year are bright, distinct colors, 
but we have in this dahlia a neutral or pastel 
combination that harmonizes with the distinct 
shades. Almost identical in form to Baby Beauty. 
The color is buff, heavily suffused shrimp pink. 
Without disbudding, this variety is a generous 
bloomer. Plants, $1.00
