IVIPFRIAT PINK (Lyndora). I. D. One of the big fellows. Color is a beautiful clear 
rose pink with gold shades at the base of each petal. Fine stem, 
stiff and straight. Dark green foliage. Plants are of medium to tall habit of growth. Six 
of this variety make a very fine basket. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
JANE COWL (Downs). I. D. This variety is still one of the wonder dahlias and deserves 
a place in every garden. A combination of both beauty and size. Color is a 
glistening bronzy buff and old gold blending to a deeper shade toward the center. A stem of un¬ 
usual strength holds this giant decorative erect over a plant of ideal growth. Foliage thick 
and leathery, insect-resisting. Produces bloom in profusion. Highly recommended. 
Roots, 50e, 3 for $1.00 
JEAN KEEFER (I. D.). Color a brilliant rose pink, flowers average 8 to 9 inches: plant 
grows tall and is laden with blossoms which can be seen all over the gar¬ 
den. Execellent for cutting and basket work. Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.00 
JEROME KERN (Veile & Mendham). One of the outstanding dahlias of the year, and 
certainly one of the greatest prize winners. An informal decorative of 
exquisite formation, different in fact from the formation of any other dahlia. The petals curve 
clear to the back of the stem and form a mass of “curls.” The color is a soft shrimp pink 
with gold and bronze shadings at the center. The stem is excellent and the growth very vig¬ 
orous. It blooms profusely and the fact that it is both an exhibition and commercial variety 
may be gleaned from the great many awards that it received during the past season. Atlantic 
City, best undisseminated seedling, any type; best informal decorative seedling. Best keeping 
variety at New York. Best undisseminated seedling and Best flower in Court of Honor at 
Easton, Pa. Roots, $7.50; Plants, $3.75 
JERSEY BEAUTY (Waite). F. D. Introduced in 1923, and still one of the most popular 
dahlias for florists’ use, on account of its puriity of color, length of 
stem and profusion of bloom. A perfect bloom of Erosine pink, carried high above the foliage 
on a long wiry stem; a perfect true pink, wonderful keeper when cut, therefore good for both ex¬ 
hibition and commercial purposes. Roots, 35c, 3 for 80c 
l'p'T?QT7\ r RFATON (Waite). Another one of the “Jersey” introductions that is most popu- 
” lar on the cut flower market. Also on the exhibition table. A decided 
novelty of Chinese scarlet with a paler reverse, giving a two-toned effect. An exhibition flower 
of vigorous growth, excellent stem. Foliage very thick and dark. Roots, 35c, 3 for 80c 
’C MA IFSTIF (Waite). I. D. A giant dahlia that will grow under normal con¬ 
ditions to exhibition size. The color is a pleasing blend of salmon, 
old gold and rose. Foliage very dark, almost a bronze whcih greatly adds to the beauty of 
the flower. Plants only, $2.50 
JIM MOORE 
(Loller). I. D. A joy to behold 
in the field and a standby for 
exhibition because you can depend upon it. Hot 
and dry weather nor pests seem to affect it in any 
way and the plants give a profusion of bloom. Color 
is a clear primrose yellow shading to gold, with 
tints and flushes of salfon throughout the flower. 
Roots, $1.00; Plants, 50c 
JOSEPHINE G. (Ruachmohr). I D. Color true 
rose pink, petals tipped Pm- 
ard yellow. The unusual bloom formation attracts 
the attention of all visitors both in the field and 
in the exhibition room. Exceptionally free flower¬ 
ing and extra fine for cutting 
Roots, $1.00; Plants, 50c 
KATHLEEN NORRIS < K1 £ n -£■ & 
I. D. This wonder¬ 
ful dahlia was introduced to dahlia lovers four 
years ago, and is still the most consistent win¬ 
ner on the exhibition table at any of the shows. 
Kathleen Norris is the greatest pink dahlia for 
exhibition under cultivation today, as a perusal 
of the dahlia publications will prove. Color is a 
true rose pink, later deepening to a mallow pink 
but paler in the young central petals, a very tight 
center, flower very thick. The first two leaves on 
the straight stiff stem are from 12 to 14 inches 
from the flower. We do not hesitate, even now. 
to say that it is the finest exhibition flower ever 
introduced. Roots, $1.00; Plants, 50c
