1933 Honor Roll 
MONMOUTH RADIANCE (Kemp) I. D. In the hottest class of seedlings that I saw 
during the year, namely at Camden, this variety came out as winner. It took 
the judges about 45 minutes to make the decision and I think they picked a 
grand Dahlia. The color is a light coral pink, shading to primrose at the 
center of the flower. Under artificial light it is one of the finest colors I have 
ever seen. 
$6.00 
SON OF COMMODORE (Scott) I. D. Good keeper; long stems; Honor Roll Dahlia; 
not quite as large as The Commodore; color martins yellow with white re¬ 
verse. 
Plants $3.75 
SULTAN OF HILLCREST (Hillcrest Dahlia Gardens) I. D. This Dahlia received 
two outstanding awards this season, namely: Winner as Best Bloom in Show 
at the Dahlia Society of West Virginia, and a Certificate of Merit at Storrs. 
It is a giant flower of clear gold, flushed with bronze and tints of brownish 
red. I had this on trial and it can produce a lot of fine specimen blooms. It 
is almost Formal in type. 
$5.00 
WASHINGTON GIANT (Lee) I. D. The sensation at Portland. Derrill W. Hart’s 
description of this unusual variety follows: “Winner of the American Home 
Achievement Medal at Portland. Here is a real lavender in a finely formed 
flower; the blooms are streaked with silver and as it grew with me, showed 
silver petaloids near the center of the flower; it is an aptly named flower 
on extra good stems.” 
Plants $5.00 Net 
RED HEAD (Peck) Another fine grower in a Miniature Dec. A brilliant flame color 
and a fine variety for bedding or bouse decoration. This one, I think, will be 
a favorite.
