FRAU O. BRAGHT 
(Berger). A Holland variety that attracted a great deal of attention 
at the New York Show of the American Dahlia Society. Its distinc¬ 
tive form and clean cut beauty gave it a place of Honor. The color is clear pale primrose, very 
clean and graceful in effect. Roots, $1.50; Plants, 75c 
GOLDEN STANDARD 
(Downs). In this new introduction for 1935, we are offering 
what we consider the most distinctive dahlia of the season. 
Distinctive because there are fewer semi-cactus introductions than decoratives either formal or 
informal, also distinctive in its coloring, size and beauty. It has been a consistent winner at 
exhibitions for the past two years. A seedling of Jane Cowl it has the same pleasing shades of 
gold and sometimes a slightly darker center that reminds you of its parent. While practically 
a straight cactus has a tendency to become incured in cooler weather, it grows a pretty big size, 
especially so for one of its type. Plant is medium to tall, stems long and stiff. We predict this 
dahlia will give as much pleasure as its parent Jane Cowl. Roots, $10.00; Plants, $5.00 
I FAN TR TMRFF (Trimbee-Waite). S. C. This variety can be grown to a huge size 
(12 inches and over); we saw i.t on the exhibition table during the past 
season. Color is a rich, glowing petunia violet, a better description might be a purple Ft. 
Monmouth, but it is a still larger flower than Ft. Monmouth. Plants have a vigorous habit of 
growth; stems are very stiff and straight. Truly a right Royal flower. Roots, $1.50; Plants, 75c 
’C MAMMOTH (Waite). S. C. Truly a monster. The color is a rich golden 
mahogany. This variety was introduced in a limited way last 
year and won first prize at many of the shows for the largest bloom. Many blooms of this 
variety will reach fourteen inches; stems fair. Roots, $1.00

I A MEXICANA 
(F. & M.). Color 
Grenadine Orange, 
perhaps Burnt Orange 
toning to copper 
would better describe 
it. Center of flower 
lighter In shade and 
tips of petals slightly 
tinged with gold. An 
extremely early and 
free bloomer, yet 
easily attaining exhi¬ 
bition size. Flowers 
borne on slender, 
stiff, black stems, 
medium to tall habit 
of growth, dark 
green foliage. (In 
view of the fact that 
the dahlia was orig¬ 
inally discovered by 
the Aztecs of Mex¬ 
ico, this name is very 
apropos.) Roots, 50c
