My Introductions of 1930 
ALEPPO F. Dec. (Dr. Shattuck) I believe this to be one of the best yellows 
on the market on account of its long, stiff stem. This Dahlia haa good depth and 
good size. Color a pure glistening picric yellow with fine petals. Flowers are 
not coarse like a lot of the yellows. Beautiful formation and fine foliage. 
Tubers $7.50 Plants $3.75 
ANGELA MIA F. Dec. (Dr. Shattuck) The most popular white in my garden 
this season because it has depth. Most of the whites are not full enough. This 
flower is like a large ball with a stiff stem. Very free bloomer with the best 
of foliage. Scored 84 at Storrs. Tubers $5.00 
MING TOY. F- Dec. (Dr. Shattuck) One of the brightest andl most striking 
Dahlias I have seen. A regular oriental color of velvety pomegranite purple. 
Stiff stem, medium size, fine foliage. Tubers $3.50 Plants $1.75 
MRS- FANNIE BEALS. F. Dec. (Dr. Shattuck) This is a four-year-old seed¬ 
ling and has improved each year. It is a deep rose pink splashed and striped tyrian 
rose with a faint shade of yellow near the base of petals. Bt has a fine long stem 
and blooms are very large and it blooms freely. Fine foliage and tall plant.

eighteen blooms on one plant this season. Foliage very fine and insects do not 
bother it at my gardens. Only a few tubers left. Tubers $3.00 Plants $1.50
