♦ THE NE' 
EPLER 
OUR 1935 INTRODUCTION 
The colors of this new Californian, which 
we are proud to have a part in introducing, 
are so striking and different from all exist¬ 
ing varieties that it is extremely difficult to 
describe. Varying shades of glistening 
orange is perhaps as near as we can describe 
it on paper. The half-tone gives an idea of 
the formation of the flowers which are in¬ 
formal decorative with many recurved petals, 
at times giving something of a pin wheel 
effect, and making not only a bloom of un¬ 
usual coloring but pleasing formation as 
well. Plants are sturdy, rugged growers with 
stems which always hold the blooms directly 
facing. Needless to say the size is large. 
The New Deal was on Derrill Hart’s 
Honor Roll in 1933 and was again men¬ 
tioned in 1934. It was among Dr. Mar¬ 
shall Howe’s list of 100 outstanding 
Dahlias and was mentioned in The Ameri¬ 
can Home in Mr. Leonard Barron’s se¬ 
lected list. If you desire something differ¬ 
ent in color in your 1935 garden don’t 
fail to try a New Deal.
