MINIATURES 
BEATRICE VAN VALKENBURG (FDM) If you 
want the best do not overlook this one. It won first 
prize in Southern California’s three largest shows this 
year. The color is between pink and lavender, has a 
good stem and a prolific bloomer. It never gets larger 
than a pompon. A Frank C. Mulkey origination. Roots 
only $1.00. 
BABY JERSEY (FDM) This lovely pink miniature 
is proving very popular judging from the splendid re¬ 
ports that have come in from where we sold it last 
year, and the advance orders we are receiving. For 
the benefit of new friends we will describe it again. A 
tall growing, prolific bloomer on the finest stem pos¬ 
sible. Color same as Jersey Beauty and requires little 
if any disbudding. We do not even top our plants, 
pinching out only the terminal bud for best results. 
We introduced this dahlia last year and still think it 
will be one of the most popular miniatures. Priced 
this year at $2.00. 
The above photograph of Miss Dot Farley with her namesake 
was taken on the tenth day of October, long after the dahlia had 
passed its prime. The picture, however, shows their size and how 
well the blooms are carried on their long, stiff stems. To say 
they hold their centers late is not telling all the truth ; they never 
open their centers. 
NORMA JEAN (FDM) True mallow purple. One of our best.

a favorite. Roots only.35
