SAmUEL TlElDSOm DAHLIA FARITI, Rapa, California 
Reip Dahlias 
SUMDAHLIA. (Giant 
Formal Decorative) (Sprague 
Newsom)—For several years 
we have been testing this 
wonder dahlia, and each 
season become more enthused 
over it. Without doubt the 
tallest and most vigorous 
variety we have ever had. 
Bushes ordinarily grow 8 or 9 
feet high with stems like 
small trees, and the blooms 
are immense, of perfect qual¬ 
ity, and borne in great pro¬ 
fusion. Color is a true deep 
lavender, blended with pink— 
bright and attractive. You 
certainly will be agreeably 
surprised with this great 
dahlia — $15.00 
SPLENDORS OF VENICE. (Newsom) (SC)— 
Nothing like it. Huge flowers, with long, artistic, 
semi-quilled petals of a fascinating blending of 
deep bronz and burnt orange, suffused gold. Bush 
is very robust, medium low growth, and stems 
are long and graceful, holding the immense blos¬ 
soms well above the attractive foliage. Stock 
limited — $ 10 . 00 . 
EMIL DOKOUPIL. (Dokoupil) (FD)—A new Imported one from 
Czechoslovakia, and a real dahlia. Bushes are exceptionally strong, vigor¬ 
ous, and healthy, while the full deep flowers of largest size, just look 
you squarely in the face from cane-like stems. Color is pure shaded 
lavender. A real addition to the newest dahlias — $10.00. 
MORAVSKY IDEAL. (Dokoupil) (I.D.)—Another outstanding 
variety from the same originator, and equally good. Gorgeous bright 
red, sometimes tipped silver. Stems are exceptionally long and strong. 
Blooms profusely, maintaining its enormous size, and the blossoms always 
seem to have many more petals than the average — $ 10 . 00 .
