CHAUTAUQUA REGAL (F. D.) (New) 
For vigor and resistance to insects, the only 
Dahlia to be compared with this is Chautauqua 
Sunset which is very similar in growth of bush, 
stem and size of flower. The color is an un¬ 
usually rich and brilliant cardinal red with the 
reverse of petals shaded ivory. Small petaloids 
showing toward center of flower also shaded ivory. 
The bloom is truly magnificent, of the largest size 
on cane stiff stems and facing the sky. Also 
particularly long lasting when cut. 
Root $15.00 Plant $7.50 
CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE (I. D.) 
The perfect white. The large, perfectly formed 
blooms are produced in the greatest profusion on 
long, straight stems. Begins blooming early and 
continues until frost. Plants are very vigorous 
and insect resisting. A certificate of merit Dahlia. 
Root $1.00 
CLARA barton (I. D.) (New) 
An immense bloom facing slightly upwards on a 
long, straight stem, twelve inches to first set of 
leaves. Face of petals silvery orchid, reverse of 
petals deep lavender, general effect lavender. Bush 
growth medium height; a very prolific bloomer 
that never stunts. 
Root $10.00 Plant $5.00 
DAILY MAIL (Dec.) 
The sensational giant of 1930 in England. We 
imported this variety and consider it one of the 
best of our importations in the matter of size and 
habits. The color is unusual in a Dahlia as the 
blending of deep yellow and orange shades give 
the bloom a soft, warm color that appeals to those 
who like delicate shades in a Dahlia. A remark¬ 
able characteristic of this variety is the continual 
flow of huge flowers which the plants produce 
with ease, from first to last. Stems are wiry and 
strong. 
Root $1.50 
DIXIE CARDINAL (F. D.) 
This very large Dahlia is a most charming new 
variety. It has size aplenty and a color all its 
own. The stem could be a bit stronger to carry 
all the monster bloom erect. In some gardens' the 
stems are perfect. The real beauty is not only 
in its size but its Flaming Salmon that attracts all 
Dahlia fans. This is a new variety. 
Root $7.50 Plant $3.75 
DONNA CALIFORNIA (Dec.) 
Deep rose pink suffused with lavender. The 
color is not new, but it is doubtless the largest 
Dahlia by far of that coloring. In fact, it is the 
largest Dahlia that we have ever grown in our 
gardens, 12-inch blooms having been produced 
without effort through a long period. The flower 
is not particularly heavy, considering its great 
size, as its even petal formation is loosely arranged 
rather than solid. The stems are very strong and 
very long. 
Root $2.00 
DOROTHY STONE (I. Dec.) 
A most outstanding Dahlia in every way. It 
is a huge decorative of a deep, pure pink. This 
is a distinct and splendid exhibition variety. Very 
full center. Petals are thick and evenly placed, 
profuse bloomer, deep green leathery foliage, 
medium to tall habit, stem straight upright and 
strong. 
Root $1.50 
THE DUCHESS (Inf. Dec.) (New) 
This is one of the most attractive Dahlias that 
we have ever grown and we had many inquiries 
from visitors at the New York Botanical Garden, 
where we had it growing in 1933. It is a clear 
bright yellow at center and greater part of petals, 
but heavily tipped with pure white. The flowers 
are large with the best of stems. Have grown 
this variety for three years and have never seen 
a flower that has not come true to this description 
which is unusual for a bi-colored Dahlia. Stock 
very limited and only one to a customer.

EAGLE ROCK FANTASY (I. Dec.) 
(Broomall-Success) 
We wish every Dahlia grower could see this 
wonderful Dahlia when in full bloom. It is a 
glorious Informal Decorative of monster size, im¬ 
posing and beautiful in form and color. Huge 
broad florets tapering and tastefully notched at 
tips. We can honestly say that this Dahlia at¬ 
tracted more attention than any other Dahlia in 
our garden except our new monster white “Mar¬ 
garet E. Broomall.” Here is how Derrill W. 
Hart describes it on the American Home Honor 
Roll for 1930. “This Dahlia will achieve univer¬ 
sal acceptance. It is another wonder origination 
of a Dahlia wizard, who must be working along 
very definite lines in breeding. Clear, mallow 
pink,, of great size and depth. It is more like 
Mrs. Frances E. Bullard than any variety that we 
can name, but an improvement on that wonderful 
variety in both form and color. All pink and 
with larger flowers. Received a Certificate of 
Merit at Storrs, and we saw it growing there and 
in its home garden. Among the finest of the 
1930 Dahlias.” The habits of this varietv are 
ideal, the best of stems that are long, straight 
and stiff with the monster bloom set just right to 
look one straight in the face, the foliage is medium 
dark green and seems to be immune from insect 
attack. It is different, it has size and then some, 
and is bound to be a consistent winner in the 
show room. 
In 1931 this was one of the best Dahlias in the 
show room. It won for the largest Dahlia at the 
Palace Hotel Show and the second best Dahlia in 
the whole show. It was shown 14 inches and 
over in many shows. This variety won for the 
best in the show at Columbia by one of our cus¬ 
tomers who writes, “I had four ‘Eagle Rock Fan¬ 
tasy’ blooms, took first in the three vase class, first 
in the single class and one bloom in the vase won 
for the best in the show.” The same grower won 
the $75.00 vase at the State Fair Show with Fan¬ 
tasy. Not so bad for an amateur. It has won 
other prizes galore the first year out. If you want 
a winner and one that will grow anywhere with¬ 
out “petting” trv this one. This variety won 
many prizes in 1932 for largest and best bloom 
in show. One of the finest exhibition blooms to 
date. This Dahlia never grows old. It’s still 
one of the largest Dahlias grown. This is what 
it did in 1933. Largest and Best Bloom Kansas 
City Show. It also was the Largest bloom ex¬ 
hibited on Saturday, Sept. I7th, at the World’s 
Fair Exhibition. Another wonder at a low pric".
