Always name some Dahlias to be used as substitutes 
in case of shortage. I have a full suply at first, but 
later I am sometimes short on certain kinds; please name extras. 
Better Than Jersey Beauty 
We thought JerseyBeauty was the acme of Dahlia Improve¬ 
ment, but here’s Kentucky,a relative that casts Jersey Beauty in 
the shade, for in every merit it far surpasses that famous variety. 
You will mistreat yourself if you fail to get Kentucky. It is truly 
the outstanding Dahlia of all. Here’s what Mr. Jack Vaughan, of 
Durham, N. C., an up-to-date Dahlia enthusiast says: 
Dear Mr. Park: Among the hundred new and choice Dahlia varieties in 
my garden last year, as an all around Dahlia I would place Kentucky at the 
head of the list. I regard it as much superior to Jersey Beauty, the plants 
being more robust and free from pests, more free and continuous blooming 
and more showy in the garden, while the long-stem big double lasting firs, 
exquisitely colored orange-salmon with pink suffusion, have a charm that 
is found in no other Dahlia. You cannot praise too highly this fine Dahlia. 
If I were limited to one Dahlia it would be Kentucky. Jack Vaughan, May 1. 
The Finest Gold Medal Dahlias 
On second page of cover I illustrate Jane Cowl, the “Fault¬ 
less Dahlia.” It is truly a great Dahlia. It is described fully 
on Page 3, under Facts About Dahlias, which see. Price, 25 cts. 
With Jane Cowl I associate Jersey’s Beauty, the famous pink 
Dahlias. Mr. Baumgardner, the Dahlia special, says: “If I 
could grow but one Dahlia, it would be Jersey’s Beauty.” It 
has all the merits of a perfect Dahlia—great size, favorite pink 
color, perfect form, long stems, abundantly produced, and keeps 
well when cut. 15 cts., 3 for 40 cts., 6 for 75 cts., 12 for $1.25, 
On Page 2 I picture the finest Show Dahlia, Gold Medal, 
so named because of its winning exhibition qualities. The flow¬ 
ers are large and full, as represented, and of an outstanding col¬ 
or, being flaked and striped with rich crimson. 25 cts. each. 
With Gold Medal I associate Mrs. J. P. Smith, an exquisite large long 
stem Ball Dahlia, vivid cherry-blush and rich crimson, the finest red show 
Dahlia in the world. You surely must want it. 
Gold Medal and Mrs. Smith are Show or Ball Dahlias. These are not 
overly large, are ball-like charmingly honeyeomed; free-blooming long-stem¬ 
med and lasting; fine for beds and very desirable for bouquets.
