OUR 1934 INTRODUCTIONS 
WASHINGTON GIANT 
WASHINGTON GIANT —-Informal Decorative. One of the 
most outstanding' new Dahlias in the U. S. Winner of the 
American Home Achievement Medal at Portland, Oregon, 
Oct. 6th, 1933, and has won several other prizes while in 
the seedling class, also on the 1933 American Home Honor 
Roll. 
Mr. Derrill Hart, who grew this variety in the east last sea¬ 
son, writes: “Unusual in form and in a color group that 
is not overburdened with varieties, a large flower on extra, 
good stems and with good growing habit.” “Here is a 
real lavender in a finely formed flower. The blooms are 
streaked with silver and as it grew with me, showed sil¬ 
ver petaloids near the center of the flower. It is an aptly 
named flower on extra good stems.” 
To this very fine description we would add that with us the 
color is lavender with orchid tints and blended with silver. 
Petals are broad and waving with curling petaloids be¬ 
tween them. Blooms are giant size, over 12 inches across 
and 7 inches in depth without forcing and always has 
closed centers. 
It was much larger than any other variety we grow and we 
are growing most of the World’s reputed largest varieties 
and all plants had the same care. 
Plants are medium tall, strong erect growing with splendid 
habits, and healthy insect-resisting foliage. 
Stems hold the big blooms perfectly erect, facing upward, 
even to the last blooms in the Fall. 
Our stock of this variety has never been forced so our roots 
are strong and full of “pep.” We predict this Dahlia will 
hold its place of Honor for many years to come, so be one 
of the first to grow and exhibit it at your Dahlia Show.
