Gold Medal Dahlias 
General List of Decorative Dahlias—Continued 
FLOYD GIBBONS (Veile & Mendham). I. D. Very large flower of bright copper with car¬ 
rot red shading. Color is bright and does not have the dullness that 
copper suggests. Flowers unusually deep, the . wavy petals curling back to the stem which 
makes a very massive flower. Roots, $1.00 
GOOD NIGHT (Broomall-Suocess). I. D. The name of this dahlia was very well chosen. 
Color is Ox-blood shaded maroon, very dark. Flowers are of exhibition size, 
borne on very straight, stiff stems. Plants are of medium height, good habit of growth, dark 
foliage. Very rich dark dahlia, splendid for contrast both in garden and at exhibitions. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, 75c 
HILLGREST MANDARIN (Scott). I. D. An exceedingly large exhibition blossom, 
almost a bi-color of Pirate and Primrose with Amber 
reverse, plants tall and strong, stems straight and stiff. Roots, $7.50; Plants, $3.75 
H. R. S. (Seal). "Named in honor of Hubert Roy Stove!. One of the 1934 introductions that did 
exceedingly well in the East. The golden yellow blossoms grow huge without forcing and 
fill a much needed want for the exhibition table. Flowers are held well out of the foliage on 
long, strong stems. Plants have excellent habit of growth. Roots, $5.00; Tlants, $2.50 
INDIANA MOON (I. D.). Awarded certificate at the Trial Gardens at Storrs. This variety 
has won many first prizes in the Middle West where it was originated. It 
is a good dahlia in every way and grows without any forcing up around 10 inches and the 
bloom are held erect on long, stiff stems. The color of this variety is difficult to describe as there 
are so many colors in its make-up. The Trial Garden describes it as flesh ocher with faint lines 
of spinel pink running through some of the petals. With us it showed plenty of blending of 
colors to make it most attractive. Roots, $1.00; Plants, 50c 
JANE COWL (Downs). I. D. This variety is still one of the wonder dahlias and deserves 
a place in every garden. A combination of both beauty and size. Color is a 
glistening bronzy buff and old gold blending to a deeper shade toward the center. A stem of un¬ 
usual strength holds this giant decorative erect over a plant of ideal growth. Foliage thick 
and leathery, insect-resisting. Produces bloom in profusion. Highly recommended. 
Roots, 50c, 3 for $1.00 
JANE DIXON Another one of our 1933 introductions that has received great praise. An ex¬ 
hibition dahlia of a lovely salmon-orange shade of great depth and size. A true 
autumn shade with reverse of petals coral color. Petals are pointed and center of flower ex¬ 
tremely high and remains tight during the w r hole of the blooming season. Plants are medium to 
tall habit of growth, foliage dark green. Flower carried well above the plant on long straight 
stems. Roots, $3.50; Plants, $1.75 
JEROME KERN (Veile & Mandham). An informal decorative of exquisite formation, dif¬ 
ferent in fact from the formation of any other dahlia. The petals curve 
clear to the back of the stem and form a mass of “curls.” The color is a soft shrimp pink 
with gold and bronze shadings at the center. The stem is excellent and the growth very vig¬ 
orous. It blooms profusely and the fact that it is both an exhibition and commercial variety 
may be gleaned from the great many awards that it received during the past season. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
JERSEY’S AUTUMN BEAUTY 
(Waite). F. D. A sport of Jersey’s Beacon with 
all its good habits color a rich soft apricot, one 
of the colors used so much in the house during the autumn. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
|pp SEY BEAUTY (Wiaite). F. D. Introduced in 1923, and still one of the most popular 
dahlias for florists’ use, on account of its purity of color, length of 
stem and profusion of bloom. A perfect bloom of Erosine pink, carried high above the foliage 
on a long wiry stem; a perfect true pink, wonderful keeper when cut, therefore good for both ex¬ 
hibition and commercial purposes. Roots, 35c, 3 for 80c 
1FR SPY BP AGON (Waite). Another one of the “Jersey” introductions that is most popu¬ 
lar on the cut flower market. Also on the exhibition table. A decided 
novelty of Chinese scarlet with a paler reverse, giving a two-toned effect. An exhibition flower 
of vigorous growth, excellent stem. Foliage very thick and dark. Roots, 35c, 3 for 80c 
T PD SPAN’S M A TFSTTG (Waite). I. D. A giant dahlia that will grow under normal con¬ 
ditions to exhibition size. The color is a pleasing blend of salmon, 
old gold and rose. Foliage very dark, almost a bronze which greatly adds to the beauty of 
the flower. Stems perfect. Roots, $3.50; Plants, $1.75
