DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
COLOR SERGEANT (Hall 84), . g e, Bloom 10 
x 4, Bush 51 / 2 ft. This striding variety is very 
useful as a cut flower, for landscape effect, and on 
the exhibition table. Color is unusual, being a rich, 
deep salmon bronze of one shade. A strong, upright 
grower with perfect stems. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
DIXIE RAVENSCROFT (Seri 85), 1933, g e, 
Bloom 10 x 5, Bush Z/ 2 ft. T he face of this at¬ 
tractive dahlia shows a bright, russet orange while 
the reverse is lemon yellow. The blooms are large 
and deep on fairly strong, graceful stems. Its dis¬ 
tinctive color makes it very showy in the garden. 
The bushes are rather low but robust and quick 
growing. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
EMMA MARIE (Dahliadel 83), c g e, Bloom 7/ 2 
x 3, Bush 6 ft. A favorite because of its pleasing 
shade of clear pink with a creamy white center and 
its commercial qualities. It is a robust grower, pro¬ 
ducing deep, full-centered blooms on three foot stems 
in ordinary field culture by disbudding. .35 
GOV. MORGAN F. LARSON (Hall 81), g e, 
Bloom 9x4, Bush 6 ft. A very pleasing and at¬ 
tractive dahlia ; not over robust. Can be grown sat¬ 
isfactorily by those giving their dahlias good culture. 
Color, clear golden yellow with slight apricot blush 
on reverse. .50 
JERSEY’S SWEETHEART (Waite 82), c g, 
Bloom 7 x 3/ 2 , Bush Z/ 2 ft. A dainty, attractive 
variety for cutting. Delice pink, shading to white in 
the center. Flowers produced in great quantities on 
slender, stiff stems. .35 
JIM MOORE (Loller 84), c g e, Bloom 10 x 4, 
Bush 5J/2 ft. A dahlia worthy of space in anyone’s 
garden. It is distinctive in form and color. The 
petals are long and regular, rolling back at tips, 
while the color is a primrose yellow shaded gold and 
suffused salmon. A good healthy grower.

JOSEPHINE G. (Grosscross 85), c g e, Bloom 8 
x 4, Bush 4 Z 2 ft- One of the most charming of 
the recent introductions. Color is a very pleasing 
true rose pink of a bright shade, some petals tipped 
yellow. It makes a wonderful, sturdy bush, with 
flowers held well above the dense foliage. It is a 
prolific bloomer, and yet the flowers are of exhibition 
quality at the same time. It is a Semi-Cactus early 
and Informal Decorative at the end of the season.

LADY MOYRA PONSONBY (Elder-Lee 85), 1933, 
g e, Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 5 ft. Although we have 
a number of good yellow dahlias this variety is of a 
pleasing shade of clear, light lemon yellow and a 
very desirable, even form. The petals, broad at the 
base and decidedly pointed at tips, make it lean 
toward the Semi-Cactus in general appearance. Cen¬ 
ters are full,,stems erect, and a good grower. 
Plants, $2.00 
MABEL S. DOUGLASS (Thompson 83), g e, 
Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 5i/j> ft. This dahlia is of ar¬ 
tistic formation with long, curled, pointed petals. In 
color it is a beautiful pastel lavender. We believe 
Josephine G. 
this dahlia will do well in heavy soil. It needs 
staking and can be disbudded according to Drawing 
X or Z. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
PALO ALTO (Ballay-Success 85), 1933, g e, Bloom 
10x6, Bush 6 ft. Clear, soft apricot buff suffused 
coral red. Stems tall and straight. Flowers are of 
good substance with uniform, full centers. It won 
the Achievement Medal in Detroit as the finest bloom 
in the show with Robert Emmet second, and they 
were so close it was almost a toss-up. Certified at 
Storrs. A variety we can highly recommend. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
ROBERT E. LEE (Peacock 84), g e, Bloom Z/ 2 x 
4, Bush 5 ft. A rich red that does not fade is de¬ 
cidedly uncommon, and that is w'hat attracts you to 
this dahlia, along with its good form, erect stems, 
and free-blooming habits. To get stems for cutting, 
follow Drawing Y. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
SISKIYOU (Broomall 80), g e, Bloom 10 x 3, 
Bush Z/ 2 ft. Here we have the dahlia that has 
won in the largest bloom class repeatedly, but on 
diameter, not considering depth. Flowers held erect 
on long, strong stems. Color, pink tinted mauve. 
Petals rather blunt and flat. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (Nolet), c g e, Bloom 
8x4, Bush 4 ft. Inclined to the Semi-Cactus type 
with a high, full center. Pure white with numerous 
pointed petals. The dense, dark green foliage makes 
a beautiful plant and sets off the lovely, white blos¬ 
soms, enhancing their waxy appearance. Plants, .75 
ZION’S PRIDE (Gresh 85), 1934, g e, Bloom 10 
x 5, Bush 51/2 Another good yellow which is 
out of the ordinary in form as the petals are quite 
broad and heavy. It qualifies well in size, stem, 
foliage, and substance. Won the A. D. S. Gold 
Medal and American Home Achievement Medal at 
the World’s Fair Dahlia Show, 1933, and should 
become a great favorite. 
Roots, $10.00; Plants, $5.00
