EARLY YELLOW, Bloom 4(4 x 2, Bush 4*/ 2 ft. A good cut¬ 
ting variety of bright lemon yellow of artistic formation, lending 
itself wonderfully for table and small decorations or as a filler 
with larger flowers. Very prolific, with good, long, slender but 
stiff stems. .35 
GRACE CURLING (Stredwick 83), c g e, Bloom 7x3, Bush 
4J/2 «. A charming flower of bright lilac with a trace of white 
at the base of petals, which are cleft, adding interest to the form. 
It is suitable for exhibiting, especially in basket arrangements, 
and is attractive in the garden. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
LINCOLN G. DICKEY (Dahliadel 85), g e, Bloom 9|/ 2 x 5, 
Bush 3i/ 2 ft. Color, primrose yellow with a decided rose suffu¬ 
sion. Disbud and the blooms will be large and of good form ; 
grown naturally, they will be of nice size in quantity. One of the 
earliest to bloom and among the last to finish. The growing habits 
are ideal, making this dahlia very satisfactory. Named for the 
Manager of the Atlantic City Auditorium at their first show. .75 
NEW GLORY (Trostle 82), g e, Bloom 7x3, Bush 5 ft. A 
striking combination of purple garnet tipped white and a popular 
winner in the bi-color class. Bushes are strong and healthy and 
stems erect. .50 
INFORMAL DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
ALICE IN WONDERLAND (Dahliadel 86), 1934, g e, Bloom 
9x6, Bush 5 ft. First of all, this dahlia is a beautiful shade of 
soft salmon, petals delicately edged bright rose. The picture can 
give you only an idea of the distinct new form with the full high 
center and long, pointed petals that curve backward to the stem 
adding to its depth. Good habits of growth, but is at its best in 
cool weather. We believe this dahlia is destined to become as 
popular as its name. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
ANDREA ERICSON (F. & M. 85), g e, Bloom 9x4, Bush 
4(4 ft. The easiest way to describe this dahlia is to call it a 
white Fort Monmouth. It is somewhat heavier in petal formation, 
but very pleasing in form. Held on excellent stems, and should 
be very successful in the white class on the show table. In hot 
weather this dahlia needs shading to be grown to exhibition per¬ 
fection. Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
FORT MONMOUTH (Kemp 87), g e, Bloom 11 x 4, Bush 6(4 
ft. The predominating color is rich claret with brightness unusual 
in darker tones. Flowers are full-centered and well formed, borne 
on long, stiff stems high above the foliage. A very prolific grower 
and bloomer. Still a winner on the show table.

WHITE WONDER (Black-Kemp 85), 1933, g e, Bloom 10 x 6, 
Bush 5 / 2 ft. The giant blooms are pure white with long, pointed, 
twisted, and curled petals, giving the flower a light, fluffy ap¬ 
pearance. This dahlia comes to us as a cross of Fort Monmouth 
and Ida Perkins. The bush is a strong, vigorous grower, branch¬ 
ing from the ground. Stems long and stiff. Foliage thick and 
leathery. It is a very good root-maker and well worth your trial. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50
