INFORMAL DECORATIVE DAHLIAS—Continued 
GALI-CURCI. One of the best liked Dahlias in 
our gardens every year. Very free flowering 
with good size. Color is brilliant salmon 
orange with golden sheen, and a lustre that 
makes it so interesting. One of the varieties 
that thrives better here than in the North_$ .50 
GRIZZLY or THE GRIZZLY. Large velvety ma¬ 
roon, with petals curled and twisted, making 
a bushy flower_ .20 
HARRY SHELDON, JR. Regardless of its large 
size, this Dahlia is as dainty in appearance 
as you could wish for, with its apple blossom 
pink ground, shading to white. Petals are 
broad, and flowers hold well throughout the 
season. Stems are good on medium size 
plant _ .30 
ISABEL STREET. Has about all of the colors 
intermingled, that can be found in light col¬ 
ored Dahlias, and is very free flowering. The 
general color effect is a strawberry pink_ .15 
JANE COWL. We have been growing Jane Cowl 
ever since its introduction, and must confess 
that we were not favorably impressed with it 
the first few years, but on account of its popu¬ 
larity, we have tried stock from many locali¬ 
ties, and now have a strain that cannot be ex¬ 
celled by anyone. With exception of Jerseys 
Beauty, this variety is the outstanding Dahlia 
today everywhere, either for cut flowers or 
for the exhibition showroom. This flower has 
more substance, without a trace of coarseness, 
and more refinement of color combinations 
than any other autumn colored Dahlia. Size 
is immense, and flowers are very deep, and 
always full to the center. Color, as they bloom 
here, is a warm buff and old gold, blending to 
apricot and old rose towards center, and in 
favorable weather conditions, centers are a 
rich bronzy brown. Last year, we had with¬ 
out fertilization and disbudding, larger flowers 
and richer colorings than what was on exhi¬ 
bition at Century of Progress Dahlia Show. 
Good for cutting, and will win all the prizes 
by disbudding and some extra care- .30 
KATHLEEN NORRIS. This extremely large and 
fine exhibition Dahlia should not be planted 
here until about July 15th, as it is a failure 
here with early plantings. This Dahlia was 
the outstanding large exhibition pink variety 
at Chicago Dahlia Show last fall, and we be¬ 
lieve it superior to Dorothy Stone for show 
purposes, as it is more spectacular, although 
a shade lighter, and not quite so deep flow¬ 
ered. Still the most popular exhibition pink.— .75 
KEMPS VIOLET WONDER. For outstanding 
refinement of color and form, this Dahlia can¬ 
not be excelled. Color is a bright violet purple 
with feint bluish violet at tips of petals. 
Flowers are full and good keepers when cut— .75 
MAY TROWER. Resembles Jane Cowl in color, 
but varies some on same plants. Not as large 
as Cowl but more prolific. Stems are good and 
plant medium size-
