DAHLIADEL NURSERIES 
INFORMAL DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
ALTAMONT (Kemp 79), g e, Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 7 ft. Large 
full flowers with long, slightly curved petals of artistic formation. 
Stems are long and slender but rigid. Color, Tyrian rose with 
lighter shadings. .35 
BAGDAD (Redfern 84), g e, Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 ft. This 
dahlia proved very satisfactory for us. It is a beautiful, brilliant 
scarlet flame of wonderful size. Good bush growth and a good 
bloomer. The long stems hold blooms high above the bush. A 
prize winner. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
EAGLE ROCK FANTASY (Broomall-Success 85), g e, Bloom 
11x5, Bush 6 ft. Huge blooms are imposing and beautiful in 
form and color. Broad florets tapering and notched at tips. Clear 
mallow pink or violet rose with silver shadings. Stems long and 
erect. Foliage is medium dark green and seems to be immune to 
insect attack. This dahlia is most outstanding. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
LA FIESTA (Cordes-Eastman 85), 1933, g e, Bloom 12 x 5, 
Bush 5 ft. Deep sulphur yellow penciled coral red. There are 
interesting color variations in this dahlia. Out of the ordinary. 
At times the red blends with the yellow, giving almost a salmon 
pink effect. The lacy petals curl and twist, giving the flower the 
appearance of a chrysanthemum. Huge blooms are held well above 
the foliage on good stems. A prize winner. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
M ARM ION (Tyler 82). g e, Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 ft. Pure 
primrose yellow with a bronze center. Reverse of petals suffused 
bronze. A sturdy, strong-growing plant with blooms held well 
above the foliage. A dahlia still popular. .50 
RUBY TAIT (Fraser 84), 1933, g e, Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 4 ft. 
A delicately shaded flower of unique formation with numerous 
petals and petaloids. A striking relief from the uniformity of the 
formal decoratives. Light sulphur yellow with soft violet rose 
suffusion and shadings on reverse. One of the first in bloom and 
if pruned and disbudded will be a mass of bloom until frost. 
Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25 
WHITE DUCHESS (English 85), c ge, Bloom 11 x 5, Bush 5 
ft. A bold white flower of large size, with a full, high center, 
facing upward, or partially so. Petals are broad and waved, giv¬ 
ing the flower a very graceful appearance. Stems are strong and 
erect. A good grower. We have found this a very satisfactory 
white exhibition dahlia with wonderful keeping qualities. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
DAHLIADEL NEWS 
Visitors are always welcome at Dahliadel. From many distant 
states Dahliadel friends stop in on their way to the shore, New 
York, or Philadelphia. During September and up until frost, (late 
October), they enjoy seeing over forty acres in full bloom; and if, 
perchance, they come before the fields are in bloom, a trip through 
the cellars and greenhouses is instructive and interesting. If you 
plan to come to this section next fall, let us send you directions 
showing auto routes to Dahliadel. 
Our Field Days last season were an even greater success than 
before and we certainly appreciate the opportunity these give us 
to meet our friends. Many travel long distances for this annual 
outing and we are surely glad to know they find the trip so worth¬ 
while that they return each year. We value this friendliness of 
our customers and their encouraging letters. We are looking forward 
to Field Days again this next fall with even greater interest and en¬ 
thusiasm. If you cannot visit us here, we shall be glad to meet you 
at any of the Fall Flower Shows where we exhibit or judge.
