FURY—F. D. Rose and copper with a reverse of deep rose. This is a huge dahlia of rather odd 
but pleasing color. First flowers will measure 11 or 12 inches, and the size is well main¬ 
tained through the whole season. The plant of medium height is a good producer and every 
flower counts as the centers are always closed and the stems satisfactory. Fine for garden 
decoration and for use in a collection of large dahlias ...$2.50 
GABRIEL—S. C. Carmine pink, or what might be termed “watermelon.” Gabriel is an early and 
free bloomer and the blooms are really spectacular. Very large and deep, they lead the 
garden in interest in the early season. As the season advances the stem is not always good 
especially if the plant is allowed to become too bushy. All things considered, we can recom¬ 
mend it as a dahlia that will bring the grower much pleasure and cause his friends to gasp 
and wonder ....... $1.00 
KO LANG—I. D. Bright copper and gold. This is a delightfully improved “Chang,” brighter in 
color and with better formation. The blending of autumn colors is particularly fascinating. 
The flowers of immense size are held up on tall robust stalks which produce freely the whole 
season. The slightly irregular formation of the flower classifies it as an informal decorative, 
which makes it all the more interesting ... $1.50 
MONTALVO—I. D. Golden bronze shading to a deep bronze center. Size seems to characterize 
most of our recent introductions, but not at the expense of beauty. We have been asked re¬ 
peatedly for extremely large ones and we have been able to supply them with a vengeance. 
Montalvo is another 12-inch dahlia when grown with ordinarily good care and it has pro¬ 
portionate depth and strength of stem. There is great beauty in the coloring as you can im¬ 
agine, and when you have charm in color, combined with great size, perfect formation and the 
best growing habits, the variety may be defined as an up-to-the-minute dahlia.$3.50 
NARCISSA—S. C. Bright daffodil yellow. We wanted a name that would express the freshness 
and warmth of early spring for this dahlia and could think of nothing more appropriate 
than the daffodil and the other yellow flowers of the narcissus family. In the full forma¬ 
tion of the flower there is also further suggestion of the double daffodil. This dahlia aver¬ 
ages 8 or 9 inches across and is another that grows straight up on a long perfect stem. It is 
striking in the garden, dignified when cut, and has no faults whatever .$2.50 
NOB HILL—I. D. Pale orange. Occasionally you see a bed of dahlias containing so many blooms 
that there does not seem to be room for a single one more. That is how Nob Hill looked last 
September. In the first crop from eight to a dozen large disbudded flowers on each plant 
opened all at one time, all with long upright stems, fairly covering the plants. On close ex¬ 
amination you would have found every bloom very large and deep and perfectly formed, al¬ 
most every one suitable for exhibiting in the show. The gay and colorful shade of the blos¬ 
som is another feature to be considered. All our dahlias are tried out in the East before 
being released and we get a conservative,; report. The notation for Nob Hill was “Very fine.”

NOVA—F. D. Bright old rose of the true old fashioned shade. There is little variation of color 
throughout the flower and the tone does not change at different seasons. Large perfectly 
formed flowers on the strongest upright stems are produced in profusion from early season 
until frost kills them down. The formation of this entrancing dahlia is quite regular with the 
broad heavy petals slightly fluted and folding back well against the stem. It is an excellent 
cut flower, lasting well and gracing any occasion. Roll of Honor dahlia in 1929.$1.00 
PALO ALTO—S. C. Bright pinkish salmon shading to a sort of salmon gold at the center. “Per¬ 
fection” would have been an appropriate name for this dahlia, for, as our Eastern Repre¬ 
sentative, Mr. Reed, says, “it has everything.” Color is positive and clear both in and out 
of doors; size conservatively 10 to 12 inches across by 6 inches deep (some customers have 
reported blooms much larger and deeper); moderate semi-cactus formation perfect, with cen¬ 
ters always closed and all alike; stem stalks very tall, straight and long-jointed; blooms 
freely both early and late; good substance and so lasts well whether growing or cut. The 
prediction Mr. Hart made in last year’s Roll of Honor, that it would surely be one of the 
sensations of the 1933 show season, has come true. We are now informed that it was very 
outstanding wherever shown, and was particularly good in the amateur classes, being a va¬ 
riety that even a beginner can grow well. Was awarded the Achievement Medal at Detroit 
as the Best Flower in that very fine show, giving us now four dahlias that have been Achieve¬ 
ment Medal winners, namely, Grandee, Satan, Achievement and Palo Alto. Also received a 
Certificate of Merit at Storrs. It appears to have been the most popular of all of last year’s 
introductions. We are receiving many inquiries asking if we have anything new that ranks 
with Palo Alto. Everybody likes it, exhibitors, florists and garden enthusiasts. Do not fail 
to grow this one. Illustrated on opposite page ...... f .$10.00
