Adirondack Sunset (I. D.) 1935— 
This aptly named variety has about everything a dahlia can 
offer: color, form, personality and splendid growing habits. 
At the New York Botanical Gardens it was the favorite by 
popular vote this year. The color is a brilliant scarlet red 
with golden tips, golden blushes on the reverse and a vivid 
light orange at the base of petals. The center of the flow¬ 
er is tipped golden orange. On honor roll. PLANTS, $5.00 
America’s Sweetheart (I. D.) 1935— 
An immense informal decorative of a pure yellow color, 
with a wonderful stem. We watched it grow here in Mich¬ 
igan and it surely deserves the name given it. 
PLANTS, $12.50 
Arcturus (F. D.) 1934— 
Received Certilcate of Merit at Storrs, 1933. This variety 
produces a high quality of large flowers. A large scarlet red 
suffused deep yellow and with yellow reverse. The stems 
are uniformly good and of proper length. The substance 
of the flowers is unusual since they outlast most other 
dahlias, either on the bush or after cutting, in the hot winds 
of our climate. Its vigor is uniformly good. This was one 
of our most vigorous dahlias last year and we can highly 
recommend it. ROOT, $6.00 PLANT, $3.00 
Buckeye King (F. D.) 1934— 
A very large, clear glow¬ 
ing amber yellow that 
won wherever exhibited 
this fall. Stems are long, 
always good with all flow¬ 
ers facing. The bushes 
are very vigorous and all 
the same. After the 
crown flower, many lat¬ 
erals are rapidly and 
simultaneously produced. 
Disbudding should be 
thorough to the base of 
each lateral. The flower 
is the perfect formal type 
and was the sensation of 
the introducer’s fields. Its 
long keeping qualities will 
commend it to the grow¬ 
er of discrimination. 
Buckeye King is on Mr. 
Hart’s Roll of Honor, 
1933. Did extra good in 
our garden.

Fiesta. PLANTS, $ .00 
Bette Davis (S. C.) 1935— 
A deep violet rose semi-cactus, a clear, lovely color that 
never blotches. Fine, long stems with very graceful foliage. 
Free bloomer and excellent exhibition flower. A much need¬ 
ed color, very clear and beautiful and every flower is per¬ 
fect. It won seven firsts the first year. On honor roll.
