CURTIS DAHLIAS 
Janet South wick (I. D.) — 
This Dahlia was, at our garden, the best of the 1932 intro¬ 
ductions. In its performance it was all but perfect. A 
bright velvety glowing pomegranate purple, very lightly 
shaded silver. All the flowers were perfect and in per¬ 
fect pose on the erect stems. The large flowers keep a 
long time when cut. Real good.

Jane Cowl (I. D.) — 
The first to be introduced of the modern large flowered 
dahlia, and still supreme in its color in all shows. It is 
probably the most popular of all dahlias and perhaps the 
best. Mikado orange to Brazil red center. No variety is 
more gorgeous. Nothing better. ROOTS, 50c 
Jersey’s Beauty (F. D.) — 
Delicate pink. A natural favorite since its origination. Pro¬ 
lific, easy to grow, very satisfactory. ROOTS, 35c 
Jean Trimbee (S. Cac.) — 
Another good one. This variety can be grown to a huge 
size (12 inches and over). Color is a rich, glowing petunia 
violet, a better description might be a purple Ft. Monmouth, 
but it is a still larger flower than Ft. Monmouth. Vigorous 
habit of growth; stems are very stiff and straight.

Kemp’s White Wonder (1. D.) — 
It is a definite cross between Kemp’s Fort Monmouth and 
Ida Perkins, and is unquestionably the largest and best 
white dahlia of the informal decorative type ever introduc¬ 
ed. The flowers are very large, frequently attaining to 12 
inches in diameter, by 8-9 inches in depth, and are pro¬ 
duced on stiff stems well above the foliage, and in pro¬ 
fusion throughout the season. Foliage very thick and 
leathery like, rendering it practically immune to insect 
injury. ROOTS, $2.00 PLANTS, $1.00 
Kaweah (I. D.) — 
An enormous dahlia, one of the largest grown of rich fus- 
chia shade, held far above the foliage on the strongest of 
stems. The bush is a strong grower, and the flower has 
won in the east and west in the large flower classes.

Kentucky Red (I. D.) — 
One of our best. Color a bright vivid scarlet that is very 
attractive and distinct in its color, and was the center of 
attraction at our gardens, and admired by all who saw 
them in bloom. Very few could leave without leaving an 
order for it. It is a very prolific bloomer. The flowers are 
large and held erect on strong stiff stems. One of our best. 
ROOT, $1-00 PLANT, 50c 
La Fiesta (1. D.) — 
A monster of a distinctive new type—having the appearance 
of a huge chrysanthemum. Color, butter yellow penciled 
red. Blooms 12 inches wide by 8 inches deep are not un¬ 
common. A profuse bloomer and the habit of growth is 
perfect. Did not do so good last season. 
ROOT, $2,00 PLANT, $1.00 
Lady Moyra Ponsonby (I. D.) — 
A wonderful new western introduction which has been giv¬ 
ing a good account of itself wherever exhibited. Color is 
a pure growing yellow and blooms up to 14 inches in di¬ 
ameter are not uncommon. Stems are strong and stiff and 
hold the monster blooms erect and facing you. Winner of 
many medals and a recent Honor Roll variety. 
ROOT, $2.50 PLANT, $1-25 
Myra Howard (I. D.) — 
One of the outstanding dahlias of the past show season, a 
large, deep flower of ochraceous orange. Spaces between 
the large petals are filled with petaloids. The flower and 
stem possess quality in every w§y. ;
