ORIENTAL GLORY—I. D. (Swartz). This dahlia comes to us so highly recommended 
that we unhesitatingly commend it to our friends and customers. At a distance, the 
color is brilliant, dazzling glowing balls of deep orange. Closer examination reveals 
the color to be Cadmium Orange overlaid with glowing scarlet, center and reverse 
heavily shaded scarlet. It is in a color class by itself. The plant is a strong, vig¬ 
orous grower, attaining a height ofi 5 Vk to 7 feet, with numerous latterals, making for 
a rugged plant with ability to stand hard usage from heavy winds and rains. Flow¬ 
ers 8-10 inches in diameter, and are of sufficient depth to properly balance the bloom. 
Stems are stiff, holding the flowers well above the dark green foliage, at just the right 
angle for any purpose. 
Scored 85 at Storrs in 1932. Winner of American Home Achievement Medal at In¬ 
diana Dahlia Society show 1932,. First prize for the best I. D. seedling. World’s Fair 
Dahlia Show, Chicago, 1933. First prize for best undisseminated seedling in the dah¬ 
lia section of the National Gladiolus Show, Laporte, Ind., 1933.

LORD OF AUTUMN I. D. (Almy 1934). This is the most sensational dahlia we have 
ever grown, regardless of color, and by far the greatest yellow dahlia we have ever 
seen. The color is a deep golden yellow, which does not bleach nor burn. The flow¬ 
ers grow to enormous size, without forcing. We had blooms of it the past season that 
measured over 13 inches across, and nearly 9 inches in depth, borne on long cane like 
stems that held the flowers high above the foliage. The formation is quite as won- 
deiful as the great size of the bloom, as the long pointed, slightly twisted petals re¬ 
curve until the stem is hidden fiom view 6 to 7 inches. The blooms are good keep¬ 
ers, both on the plant and when cut. Plant a strong grower, bountiful bloomer, and 
good tuber maker from green plants. 
Our enthusiasm over this wonderful dahlia is unbounded, as we do not see how its 
gieatness could be over estimated. One might use every praiseful adjective in the 
English language to portray the greatness of this wonderful dahlia, and scarcely do 
it justice. 
We believe it unbeatable in the show room, particularly in the single bloom or speci- 
men classes. If you want the greatest exhibition dahlia you have ever seen, you will 
find it in the LORD OF AUTUMN. On American Home Honor Roll. Root stock very 
limited.

in spite of its size. It won the champion seedling class at Bryn Mawr, Pa., and won in

cellent stem, and robust growth, and you come very nigh having a perfect white
