THE ULTIMATE IN DAHLIAS 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE _ ( R ee d) Informal Decorative. Immense dark red 
that takes its place as one of the outstanding exhibition varieties of all time. It 
was more in evidence than any other variety at the fall shows this year. There 
seems to be no limit to the size that this great dahlia can be grown. Stem and 
growth are all that can be desired. 
Root—$10.00 Plant—$3.75 
MYRA HOWARD _ ( Dahl iadel) Informal Decorative. This past season was a great 
one for this dahlia. It bloomed its head off, and the huge pure gold flowers 
stood up all over the garden. The stems are stiff and straight. One of the very 
best of the autumn shades. Fine for exhibition. 
Root—$3.50 Plant—$1.75 
OLIVE WRIGHT —(*) — (Veile & Mendham) Informal Decorative. A magnificent 
orange with yellow at the base of the petals. The flowers are extremely large 
and borne in profusion on strong, healthy bushes. The stems are rigid. The 
center is very high and full. As it is a strong grower, it should be thinned 
out to four canes. 
Root—$1.50 Plant—$0.75 
ORIENTAL GLORY —(Delight-U Garden) Informal Decorative. There are so 
many dahlias following the same color tone that it is an innovation when one ap¬ 
pears with a shading that is just a little different than the other. Such a dahlia 
is Oriental Glory. The flowers are brilliant, dazzling balls of deep orange; 
and how we need this color on the exhibition table. Fine, robust grower with 
excellent stems. On the Honor Roll. 
Plants only—$7.50 
PALO ALTO —(Ballay-Success) Semi-cactus. Another good variety from Mr. Bal- 
lay. While it is not as brilliant a color as we like, this should not be taken 
against it. It is a blend of coral, gold and rose. The flowers are enormous 
and numerous. Fine growth and foliage. 
Root—$10.00 (Stock Limited) Plant—$5.00 
PRINCE OF PERSIA —(Newsom) Informal decorative. Immense, rich, glowing 
crimson. A fine exhibition variety but a bush of peculiar growth. Too many 
laterals should not be left on the bush, and it is best planted early. 
Root—$1.50 Plant—$0.75 
PRINCE REGENT —(*) — (Lyndora) Formal Decorative. There are very few dah¬ 
lias with the beautiful coloring of this one. Light yellow that shades to dis¬ 
tinct salmon pink makes a picture that no artist could paint. Fine stems and 
an excellent grower. 
Root—$1.50 Plant—$0.75 
R. A. BROOMFIELD— (Petrie -Chappaqua) Informal Decorative. Glorious saf¬ 
fron orange flushed with rose. The blooms are large and distinctive, easily 
grown to great size and depth. They are held upright and always well up out 
of the foliage. The foliage is heavy and dark green. On the Honor Roll. 
One of the most beautiful of all recent introductions. 
Plants only—$5.00 
ROBERT EMMETT— (Dahliadel) Informal Decorative. A new and very pleasing 
shade of red. A glowing red that does not fade. Medium to large in size, 
with excellent heavy, dark foliage. 
Plants only—$3.75 
ROB ROY— (Tyler) I nformal Decorative. A huge old gold flower that is reminis¬ 
cent of Galli-Curci. Excellent growth with a stiff, but somewhat leafy stem. 
Root—$2.00 Plant—$1.00
