BADETTY BROTHERS — DAHLIAS 
GOLDEN ECLIPSE 
Generally accepted as one of the greatest formal 
decoratives of recent years, this variety has become 
so widely known both in this country and abroad 
that it is assured of being one of the most umvei- 
sally grown of all the newer introductions. 
In color it is a rich golden yellow blending slight¬ 
ly to a warm salmon at the center. This soft glow¬ 
ing shade has the added feature of responding bnght- 
]y to artificial light. 
The large perfectly formed blooms confoim 
strictly to the recognized, true formal decorative 
type Cut on strong 3 1-2 to 5 foot stems they 
furnish the subject for a most spectacular display 
that will outlast a four-day show. 
As an exhibition dahlia, Golden Eclipse has an 
envious record. It won first in 1932 as an undis- 
seminated variety in the big New York Show ot the 
A. D. S., where it has likewise won for two years 
in open competition as the best formal decorativ e. 
This past year it received first honors m a class 
for the best varieties disseminated in 19o4 ana he- 
sides featuring prominently with James Kirby in the 
large prize winning exhibits staged by Peter Hender¬ 
son & Co., in the New York Show, it has a long list 
of first prizes to its credit. It has the Certificate 
of Merit of the A. D. S., and has been a member ot 
the Dahlia Honor Roll for three years. 
The plant stands out among all varieties for its 
vigorous growth. It grows 6 to 7 feet high with 
great uniformity and a complete lack of stunted 
plants. Left to grow naturally, it is literally covered 
with large blooms. It makes a clean bush that 
needs no thinning out and will produce blooms of 
exhibition caliber with practically no disbudding. 
Dependable growing habits, a true type bloom 
that keeps when cut, a rich, warm color, strong 
stems and a natural ability to win are qualities that

the best dahlias. Roots $3.00 Plants $1.50
