e, Bloom 8/ 2 x 5, Bush 5y 2 ft. A prize winner 
on the table this past season, having eleven first 
prizes and an American Home Achievement Medal 
to its credit. The beautiful deep flowers with high, 
full centers and numerous petals are soft lemon 
yellow, larger and deeper in color than Frau O. 
Bracht. This variety is a tall, rugged grower with 
sturdy stems, but needs some disbudding to produce 
large blooms. Plants, $5.00 
ROCKLEY MOON (Taylor-Ruschmohr), FD, 1935, 
g e, Bloom 9 x 4, Bush 6 ft. This light lemon 
yellow dahlia shades darker in the center and shows 
a trace of purple tint on the back. It is a sturdy 
grower, producing large blooms on strong stems. 
This variety was judged the best dahlia in the West 
Virginia Show, 1934, and received a Certificate of 
Merit in Storrs, Conn., 1933, and East Lansing, 
Michigan, 1934. Roots, $10.00; Plants, $5.00

Bush 5 ft. First to attract the dahlia fan at East 
Lansing on September 12 where it finally scored 88 
or second high for this Trial Grounds. This fine 
new variety is a clean, attractive color described as 
a soft Rodamine purple or rosy mauve, different in 
tone from our other varieties. Outstanding at the 
New York Botanical Gardens. Good growing habits 
with stems long and erect. The form is good, with 
perfect blooms held well above the foliage. A very 
desirable variety. Plants, $10.00 
DAHLIADEL 1935 
INTRODUCTION 
DAHLIADEL JOY (Dahliadel 87), Min. C, 1935, 
c g e, Bloom Z/ 2 x 2/ 2 , Bush Z/ 2 ft. One of 
the most attractive small dahlias we grew in 1934. 
It is artistic and uniform, and blooms profusely on 
long stems without any disbudding. In fact, with 
disbudding this dahlia will grow to 5 inches or more. 
It is a wonderful keeper with perfect, full centers 
until frost. Color, a clear lemon yellow. Popular 
with the florists. Plants, $1.00 
MISS ELSIE JANE (Dahliadel 87), S-C, 1934, c g 
e, Bloom 6x4, Bush 5 ft. This variety is con¬ 
tinuing to win on the exhibition table, especially in 
the basket and arrangement classes as it is just about 
the most artistically formed dahlia we have ever seen. 
In color, too, it is unique, being a shrimp pink with 
cream shadings at center and tipped violet rose, a 
fine and useful color combination. Blooms are uni¬ 
form and by disbudding can easily be produced 6 x 
4 inches in quantities from early until the end of 
the season. Certified at Storrs, 1934, and won as 
the best basket at Camden in hot competition with 
the larger varieties. We heartily recommend it for 
sheer beauty, floriferousness, long wiry stems, and 
usefulness. Roots, $4.00; Plants, $2.00
