the Midwest Dahlia Show of 1934 . 
Displayed in This Picture . 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (Newson, 1932), I. D.— A very 
striking bright red exhibition Dahlia of the most irri- 
descent rich-glowing crimson. The petals are of great 
depth and substance, making an unusually deep, 
attractive flower. Bush is vigorous, robust and very 
tall. This Dahlia attracted more visitors’ attention than 
any other in my garden in 1933. (H. R.) 
Plants, $0.50; Roots, $0.75 
PRINCETONIAN (Colvin, 1934), I. D.— The long 
twishted petals are of coral pink, blended with light 
orange yellow. A large flower that never shows an open 
center even in extreme heat and is held on long stiff 
stems. Plants only, $2.50 
PURPLE WONDER (Kemp, 1933), I. D.— The predom¬ 
inating color of this fine Dahlia is pansy purple, with 
rose hued lavender reverse. The blooms range up to 
11 inches across and 6 inches in depth. Are full cen¬ 
tered, and are held facing well above the dark foiage 
on stiff stems. Foliage very thick, dark colored, and so 
tough in texture, insects make but little headway in 
damaging it. Plants only, $2.00 
ROBERT EMMETT (Moroney Dahliadel, 1933), I. D.— 
Scored 87 at Storrs; flower 9x4. A grand new vel¬ 
vety cardinal red Dahlia of giant size and beauty. 
Good open grower with dark green insect-resistant 
foliage and held on long stiff stems. One of the finest 
in the garden. (H. R.). Plants, $2.50; Roots, $5.00 
ROBERT E. LEE (Peacock, 1931), S. C. —Brilliant glow- 
inv red that does not fade or burn. Fine petals and 
form and good size. (H. R.) Plants, $0.50; Roots, $0.75
