General List of Varieties 
Note: Varieties appearing in large type are all exceptional varieties, but those 
in smaller type are not to be considered as inferior. Varieties marked with an aster¬ 
isk, thus (*), are varieties that produced seed for us this past season. 
AIKO —(Dahliadel) Semi-cactus. A remarkably beautiful and striking flower. In 
color, a deep carmine, and in formation resembling a huge water lily more than 
a dahlia. It is a robust grower, the bushes averaging four feet. The stems are 
excellent. 
Root—$2.50 Plant—$1.25 
AMELIA EARHART — (Cordes-Eastman) Semi-cactus. A grand variety that lived 
up to the reputation that it acquired last year. It was exhibited in practically 
every show, and what is more important, it won. For the sake of comparison, 
it resembles the famous Edna Erber in color and formation. The color is apri¬ 
cot-buff, with primrose at the base of the petals. The blooms are huge on fine 
stems. The bush grows tall. 
Plants only—$5.00 
AMERICAN LEGION—(Nuneviller) Informal Decorative. One of the largest of 
all dahlias, but a temperamental variety. It resembles Aztec Glory in form, 
but it is deeper and brighter yellow. This variety does not seem to have the 
vitality necessary for large flowering dahlias. 
Root—$3.50 Plant—$1.75 
ATTILA—(*) — (Vilmcrin). A very satisfactory incurved cactus, dark maroon with 
silver tips, and a very easy variety to grow. Not large, but a tremendous pro¬ 
ducer of bloom. 
Root—$0.75 
BETTY COLTER —(Success) Informal Decorative. A very fine and beautiful flow¬ 
er that has never been given the recognition due it. It is an even shade of 
light salmon red throughout, shading to old rose at the base of long rolled 
petals. We have never seen better stems on any dahlia. 
Plants only—$1.50 
CAMEO —(Fisher 6C Masson) Informal Decorative. One of the most beautiful 
dahlias ever introduced, and certainly one of the most unusual in coloring. It 
is the color of the old fashioned cameo so popular today in old jewelry. Excel¬ 
lent stems and growth make it one of the most satisfactory dahlias on the mar¬ 
ket today. Excellent for exhibition and the garden. We cannot recommend this 
dahlia too highly. 
Root—$5.00 Plant—$2.50 
CAROLYN THILL—(Fisher &Z Masson) Informal Decorative. A new color is 
the Mecca of every dahlia introducer. In this variety and in Cameo, we have 
two dahlias that stand aloof from the general pinks, reds, yellows, whites, and 
autumn shades. The color is chamois-rose, a very unique shade. Excellent 
dark green foliage and stiff stems. 
Root—$2.50 Plant—$1.25 
CHAUTAUQUA SUNSET — (Chautauqua). One of the most beautiful dahlias in col¬ 
oring that we have ever had the pleasure to grow. A glowing combination of 
apricot, old rose, and gold. It nearly borders the formal decorative in type, 
although there is a slight wave to the petals. On the Honor Roll. 
Plants only—$5.00
