FOUR NEW PRIZE WINNERS

1933 show

der the provisional name “Nira”). A 
strong growing bush, holding its large 
deep blooms proudly, well above the fol¬ 
iage on strong yet graceful stems. A 
lovely tone of rose with just enough of 
the gold base color showing through to 
give it a soft, rich pastel effect. This 
informal decorative has substance and 
prolificy rare in a flower of its size. 
Each . $5.00 
Orange Glory. The public has been wait¬ 
ing a long time for this flower, having 
seen it at florists displays; but until this 
year not a sufficient quantity has been 
available to distribute the tubers. This 
beautiful dahlia is the most true, bril¬ 
liant orange yet introduced; with fine 
long stems. A wonderful keeper and 
prolific bloomer. $2.50 
Allura. An exceptionally prolific and 
showy variety; the large blooms are of a 
distinct shade of lavender-pink and are 
carried on long, graceful stems. The 
habit of growth is of the best. A won¬ 
derful bloomer, early and late. . . .$2.50

of pure deep gold. Very free blooming 
on good stems. A perfect dahlia for 
those who want large flowers with little

^ *».; «>•; «»•; <>•; «»•>' ^ *>>: ^ ‘' 
Canary Cup. The best pure yellow 
decorative yet produced. It is a bril¬ 
liant clear yellow, handsome in form¬ 
ation, large, and borne on exceedingly 
long stout stems. Most remarkable of 
all is its keeping quality—our large 
display of this variety at the Biltmore 
lasted in perfect condition for three 
full days with the stems immersed in 
a very shallow pan of water. Our 
tubers are from selected stock which 
is very scarce.75c 
Flaming Meteor. Because of the uni¬ 
form perfection of its large bright 
orange-scarlet shaded buff flowers on 
long straight stems, this variety is a 
consistent prize-winner. 50c 
Jane Cowl. One of the finest of all 
dahlias. Deep, massive blooms of 
bronze and old gold. Petals broad, 
with just enough twist to add the re¬ 
finement often lacking in dahlias of 
huge size . 75c 
Jersey’s Beauty. The most popular 
pink dahlia. Produces perfect flowers 
throughout the season. 50c 
Mrs. I. de ver Warner. Large flowers 
of glowing mauve-pink. The best of 
the lavender shades. 35c 
Rosy Dawn. Delicate orchid-pink—a 
lovely soft shade and an exceptionally 
fine cut-flower, especially beautiful 
under artificial light.50c 
Tommy Atkins. Brilliant flaming scar¬ 
let, the brighest of all reds. 50c 
Treasure Island. Bright apricot with 
gold and old rose suffusion—a strik¬ 
ing color combination and a perfect 
large dahlia with fine stems. . .$ 1.00 
Nopal. The very large flowers—rich glowing deep red— 
are carried on perfect stems. We consider it the best 
of the dark red dahlias. See color plate.7 5c 
Salbach’s White. We esteem this the finest large pure 
white dahlia grown. The flowers are perfectly formed, 
have splendid stems and are good keepers. Invaluable 
for cutting . 75c
