OUR 1934 INTRODUCTIONS 
It has been our policy to introduce Honor Roll and 
Certificate of Merit Dahlias only and we are pleased to 
state that it gives us great pleasure and honor to intro¬ 
duce the following good dahlias, which are all worthy of 
being in your garden. 
Man O War (Boone-Straight-Ruschmohr) Inf. Dec. 
General tone is carmine, dark at center, oxblood red, with 
good flowering habit and good foliage. This dahlia received 
a score of 86 at the American Dahlia Society Trial grounds 
in Storrs, Conn., in 1932 and was one of the largest dahlias 
grown there that year. Of all the dahlias that were origi¬ 
nated in W. Va. and sent to the trial grounds for scoring, 
none of them have equalled its score. It was the winner 
of the American Home Achievement Medal at the W. Va. 
Show in 1932. This was one of the few dahlias that did 
well in the World’s Fair Outdoor Dahlia Garden in Chicago. 
A basket of this variety took first prize at the Brooklyn 
Show this year. It also has excellent keeping qualities. At 
the close of the New York show it was fresher than any of 
the others in the undisseminated classes. Listed on D. W. 
Hart’s Honor Roll and we quote what he says in his sup¬ 
plementary honor roll. “Man O War, an exhibition red can 
no longer be just good to receive recognition. It must be 
outstanding, I would rate this variety as worthy of that 
term. It is a fine garden variety on account of its splendid 
habits and one of the best keepers among the large flowered. 
The color is a rich dark carmine red but with plenty of 
glow and life. Also a variety that will bloom with the 
earliest and continue up until frost.’’ Plants $5.00, Roots 
$10.00. Stock is limited. 
Harriet Neale (Wickersham-Ruschmohr) Inf. Dec. 
Color, rich gold. Early and profuse bloomer with good 
foliage. Won as the best autumn in the open to all class in 
the New York show. Also listed on D. W. Hart’s Honor 
Roll who says “The most complete description I can give 
of this variety is to say it is a golden Marmion; deeper in 
color and more refined. I have seen this variety growing for 
two years and it is very pleasing, distinctive and a satisfac¬ 
tory dahlia.” Plants $5.00, Roots $10.00. 
Lois Marion (Detjen-Ruschmohr). Incurved cactus, 
center petals citron yellow, outer rows shrimp pink. 
Splashed effect. Straight and cane like stems. Very tall
