JANE ROSS, Informal Decorative. Ross 1935 
This new Red was produced in the middle west and promises 
to take its place among the top notchers, because of its won¬ 
derful spreading plant habit, good stems and freeness of bloom. 
In color its introducer describes it to us as similar to the well 
known Emperor, but as having less of a purple cast, a rich 
red, overlaid with velvety maroon red. It is similar in form¬ 
ation to the Emperor but grows much larger and comes into 
bloom from four to five weeks earlier and has a much better 
stem. Mr. Rcss is an old Dahlia grower who has been pro¬ 
ducing seedlings for thirty years and says that this is the 
best he has ever seen or produced. Stock of this variety is 
quite large, so we have persuaded him to let us offer a ten 
dollar dahlia the first year at a second year price.

MRS. J. K. ALEXANDER, Informal Decorative. Alexander 1934. 
This Dahlia is one of the largest buttercup-yellows ever pro¬ 
duced. It is very free flowering, producing many blooms 12 to 
16 inches across without disbudding. Strong healthy plants, 
easy to grow, fine long stems. Disease and insect resistant. 
An outstanding creation; truly a real Dahlia. Should sell for 
double our price. Roots $3.00—Plants $1.50 
MRS. H. C. BACON, Formal Decorative, Eastvale Farms 1935. 
This new Dahlia was planted by a grower of wide experience 
who died before he had a chance to see his best seedling. 
We have watched it for three years and have grown it for two, 
and it has done better every year. The bloom is a deep buff- 
orange color, shading slightly deeper at the center and the re¬ 
verse is light buff, very formal every bloom exactly alike. The 
stems are very long and strong and of good size and will cut 
up to 30 inches. Blooms are about 8 inches across without 
disbudding and have excellent keeping qualities, making an 
ideal cut flower. We have counted twenty-four blooms on one 
plant all at the same time. Plant grows four and one half to 
five and one half feet tall and have excellent spreading habits; 
are very hardy, disease and insect resistant. It is an excellent 
Dahlia. Roots $3.00—Plants $1.50
