SEMI-CACTUS DAHLIAS 
ALICE WHITTIER (Success 80), g e, Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 6 
ft. Color, primrose yellow. This dahlia is still good on the ex¬ 
hibition table. A good grower on reasonably good stems. .50 
AMELIA EARHART (Cordes-Eastman), 1933, g e, Bloom 12 
x 6, Bush 4 ft. Although this variety has been temperamental 
for some, we have procured stock from which to grow plants 
which we believe should be satisfactory. Color is apricot buff with 
salmon tints shading to soft yellow at base of petals. One might 
picture it as an improved Edna Ferber of larger size, better stems, 
and with more gold and less rose shadings. Plants, $3.75 
EDNA FERBER (F. & M. 85), c g e, Bloom 9x4, Bush 5 ft. 
The size and beauty of this flower still attracts much attention. 
The petals are curled and twisted, forming an extremely full 
flower. Color, glistening coral, shading to old gold at base of 
petals. A good strong grower, with dark green foliage. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
JEAN TRIMBEE (Trimbee 85), g e, Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. 
Massive yet artistic with long, revolute petals that curl and twist. 
The color is a beautiful petunia violet making it popular as an 
exhibition dahlia. A tall, vigorous grower with long, erect stems. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
KARL BONAWITZ (Dahliadel 86), g e, Bloom 8x5, Bush 
5|/ 2 ft. The ability of this dahlia to withstand varied climatic 
conditions throughout the country has won it many friends and, 
in nearly all cases, it has gone far beyond expectations. The 
brilliant, velvety carmine flowers are artistic and graceful in form. 
Although dark in color for a commercial cut flower, it is a won¬ 
derful keeper and arranges well with lighter dahlias. It comes 
the nearest to developing a perfect bush without topping or dis¬ 
budding of any dahlia we know, as it just naturally branches and 
produces perfect and uniform blooms on long, erect stems. It 
responds, however, to disbudding (as shown in Drawings X or Z) 
and will give you stems up to 4 feet in length. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
MARIPOSA (Boston 83), c g e, Bloom 8x4, Bush 6 ft. This 
popular flower is of great depth and good form, with incurved 
petals. A beautiful pink, shading darker at the center with a 
violet suffusion, which adds to the effect. A sturdy grower and 
great favorite. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
MARYLAND ORANGE (Maryland D. G. 83), c g e, Bloom 8 x 
4, Bush 5 ft. A bright orange with orange cadmium shadings 
that will attract much attention. Good commercial color and type. 
It is especially adaptable for baskets. A good keeper, and blooms 
freely. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
MINNIE EASTMAN (Eastman 83), c g e, Bloom 8x4, Bush 
6 ft. Bright flame color with undershadings of deep yellow. 
Stems long and erect. Bushes are tall with natural branching 
habits. Foliage smooth and glossy. A profuse bloomer. 
Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
ORIENTAL BEAUTY (Barker 84), c g e, Bloom 7x4, Bush 
6 ft. This variety has won considerably in the East. The color 
is clear, bright violet rose. Petals gracefully curl and twist, mak¬ 
ing a very artistic and useful flower. Quantities of deep blooms 
are produced on strong, rugged bushes. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
SATAN (Ballay-Success 85), g e, Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 ft. 
Color, scarlet with yellow on reverse of petals showing at the 
center as petals unfold. Stems are very long and may need some 
support in wet weather. Very showy in the garden. Bushes tall 
and rugged. Flowers are uniformly large and of regular forma¬ 
tion, keeping well when cut. Scored 87 at Storrs. 
Roots, $4.00; Plants, $2.00
