ALICE 
ANDREA ERICSON <L ish ? r & fl Mason) -. L D - 
The huge flower is com¬ 
posed of broad oval petals with pointed and slightly 
twisted tips which give the flower a fluffy appearance. 
Center is solidly packed with quilled, pure white petals 
which show none of that yellowish green often found 
in so-called white dahlias. It is an early and free 
bloomer, foliage dark green and insect-resisting. The 
flowers are borne high above the foliage, often as 
much as 16 inches above the first leaf axle, stems 
perfectly straight and rigid. Flowers often attain 
10 inches to 12 inches, very free bloomer and early. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, 75c

I. D. On Derrill 
1931 Honor Roll, and ha.s 
proven to be all it was claimed to be. Color distinc¬ 
tive and pleasing being of a light salmon red through¬ 
out shading to old rose at base of long rolled petals. Flower nicely formed on very good stems. 
Bloom is large and excellent for exhibition, plant of sturdy growth. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
ANDREA ERICSON 
CAROLYN THILL (McAvoy-Fisher & Masson). Color difficult to describe—due to the fact 
that the whole flower seems to have a rose glow emanating from its 
depths not seen in petals when plucked separately from the center. Chamois-rose is the nearest 
to a color definition. Petals are extremely fine in texture like those of a rose, center very full, 
it is decidedly a new coloring in dahlias. Roots, $1.00; Plants, 75c 
CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE (Wallace). I. D. The flowers are of a dazzling pure white 
^ and large, are produced in abundance. The strong stems 
hold the flowers facing well above the foliage; plants are medium tall and sturdy; good keeper 
when cut. Roots, 75c 
CHEMAR’S EUREKA (Chemar). F. D. One of the most beautiful white dahlias, with 
a faint tinge of lavender on edge of petals, it has been our pleas¬ 
ure to grow. Flowers produced freely on long stiff stems, are of exhibition size. 
Roots, 75c 
CORA BUTTERWORTH (Chapman). F. D. A silvery or primrose yellow decorative
