LAWRENCE TIBBETT 
Eastern and Western Honor Roll Dahlia, 1933 
This immense 12 to 14 inch Formal Decorative of fine form and 
beautiful coloring was selected by the World Renowned Singer, 
personally, to bear his name. The color is a warm, glowing, clear 
peach. Ihe large flowers are held erect on strong, straight stems, 
on tall strong bushes; prolific bloomers, having excellent keeping 
qualities. Blooms of it have been taken home after exhiibting it 
two days at shows, and they kept perfectly three or more days 
longer. Every one said Mr. Tibbett showed excellent taste in select¬ 
ing such a lovely dahlia for his name. 
Derrill W. Hart says: on the American Home Dahlia Roll of 
Honor: "It is indeed a tribute to this variety to bear the name of 
one of Americas favorite singers. At the Dahlia Society of Cali¬ 
fornia Show this variety was chosen not only by Mr. Tibbett himself, 
but, what is of more importance, made an equally favorable im¬ 
pression on the judges, for they chose it as the Best Flower in the 
Show. That is indeed a great tribute to a Formal Decorative when 
stacked against the wealth of Dahlia blooms which the Informal 
Decoratives can show."

BELLATRIX 
This giant Informal Decorative of Autumn coloring is most 
attractive. It is a pleasing combination of yellow, buff and rose. 
The large flowers are held erect on long strong stems on tall bushes. 
Excellent cut flower, good keeper. Was very attractive in the 
East, in spite of the storms. One grower and originator of fine 
dahlias, on seeing it blooming in my garden, expressed great ad¬ 
miration for it. It is illustrated in the picture on the right.
