General List of Decorative Dahlias—Continued 
SANHICAN’S CAMEO 
J-JJOAN’S CAMEO (Fisher & Masson). Our 1933 introduction that gave a good account 
for itself on the exhibition tables al,l over the country in 1934. 
Second on Derrill W. Hart’s list of leaders in show room and garden in House Bautiful for 
December. One of the most admired dahlias at the A. D. S. show in Hotel Pennsylvania, New 
York. We centered our exhibit with a vase of 18 blooms of this beautiful dahlia (field grown) 
and a customer across the room exhibited a handsome vase of eight (garden grown) thus pro¬ 
viding at one exhibition what field grown roots from Sanhican Gardens will do. The color of 
this formal decorative brings it under the new A. D. S. demand for “distinctiveness.” It is 
coral-rose with a glistening golden sheen on the face of the petals and a deep rose pink color on 
reverse. The deeper tone on the reverse of petals adding greatly to the appearance of depth. 
An extremely beautiful flower in daylight and even more so under artificial light. Free 
bicomer and excellent keeper when cut, there being frequently from four to six exhibition sized 
blooms on a plant at one time. Plants are of medium tall habit of growth and have dark green 
insect resisting foliage. Stems long and straight and carry flowers well above foliage. Due 
to the fact that we have a large stock of this beautiful dahlia we are able to offer it at> ro 
reasonable a figure. Root#, $2.50; Plants, $1.25 
SANHICAN’S OPT TCCP & M.). Ever since dahlias have become most popular in 
the garden, we have been experimenting to get a dahlia of 
the color of the favorite old-time Delice but of a size required for present-day standards. Our 
efforts in this direction have resulted in the production of this beautiful staghorn petaled deco¬ 
rative, of great depth and of a true deep pink with an almost imperceptible salmon glow in 
the center. Free bloomer, stem like a cane and an excellent keeper when cut. Roots, 75c
