Mrs. Elizabeth Parrett, I. D. ' (Andersen) — I regard this 
as one of the most beautiful decorative dahlias; the 
flowers are large, held above the foliage on fine stems, 
and the coloring is unsurpassed, a deep orange. This 
seedling was one out of 50 varieties that took first prize 
at the State Fair, 1934. Root—$10.00. 
Mrs. Ella Worthen (Andersen) —A Semi-Cactus Dahlia 
of great beauty on long wonderful stems. Has blooms 
of the largest size; had blooms as large as 12 inches. 
Color a lovely shade of pink with yellow shadings— 
$5.00. 
Mrs. F. A. Ingolls (Andersen) —Another Semi-Cactus 
Dahlia that has attracted more attention than any 
other Dahlia in the garden. It is always the center of 
attraction because of its color and large size. Color is 
deep lavender. Root—$5.00. 
Ruby Taylor, D. —It was one of the finest Dahlias in the 
whole garden. The clear self color is difficult to de¬ 
scribe but the nearest color we could find in the color 
book was carmine. The habits of this Dahlia are nearly 
perfect. It has long, stiff stems, is an open growing 
bush, and needs no pruning to produce large, deep 
bloom. This variety was awarded a certifciate at 
Storrs Trial Garden in 1932. It also cleaned up every¬ 
thing in its class on the Pacific Coast last season, win¬ 
ning no less than six first prizes. We highly recommend 
this variety to those who want a Dahlia so very much 
different from any of the newer ones going out this sea¬ 
son. A sure winner—$5.00.
