ARELDA LLOYD 
C. H. SMITH SUCCESS 
We are to introduce the Champion Dahlia at American Dahlias Society Trial 
Garden at Storrs, Conn,, for 1933, It is no other than a sport of the super-great 
all time Dahlia Jane Cowl. It has everything that made Jane Cowl perhaps the 
greatest introduction of the modern Dahlia. It has exactly the same habits, foliage, 
stems, size and profuse blooms. But it is not necessary for us to describe Jane 
Cowl, you all know it and we feel sure that we all welcome another Dahlia of equal 
merit. Therefore we are offering Arelda Lloyd the sensational Dahlia at Storrs, 
where it defeated about a dozen Honor Roll Dahlias along with topping every other 
Dahlia at Storrs in 1933. This creation was little known before it appeared at Storrs 
but it was soon discovered that it had about everything that the better Dahlia should 
have, and in a recent letter Prof. R. H, Patch remarks, “I noted the resemblance in 
growing habits of Jane Cowl in Arelda Lloyd but the color was much better.” A 
soft, deep yellow, slightly flushed with apple blossom pink on the ends of the petals, 
reverse is a clear yellow with pink veining. Height about six feet, a profusion of 
immense flowers held perfectly erect on long, stiff stems, foliage insect proof, Arelda 
Lloyd has been grown fourteen inches without forcing. Prof. George W. Fraser 
writes, ‘‘Arelda Lloyd was a corker at Storrs this year. Think you did a fine thing 
in getting this wonder to introduce.” We can only offer plants this season but if 
you want to grow a sure winner we highly recommend this yellow Jane Cowl. Der- 
rill W. Hart writes, ‘‘Was under the impression that Arelda Lloyd was not to be 
introduced this year and had written the owner to this effect, but that no doubt it 
would be on The American Home Honor Roll in 1934.” So you will be getting almost 
a sure Honor Roll Dahlia the year before it lands this high honor. We predict a 
long string of our customers winning with this new variety for 1934. If you like 
Jane Cowl, you’ll love this one. — Plant S7.50.
