AMERICAN LEGION (Nuneviller), g e, Bloom 10 
x 6, Bush 5|/ 2 ft. To our surprise after selecting 
for the past three years, we found stock of this 
variety doing so well in our fields that we are offer¬ 
ing plants for those who have admired this dahlia in 
the past as we have and have been unable to grow it. 
Color, clear yellow and a flower that reminds you of 
Aztec Glory but on longer stems. Plants, $1.50

AZTEC GLORY (Broomall 84), g e, Bloom 10 x 5,. 
Bush 31/2 ft* Yellows come and yellows go, but 
this is still a good yellow exhibition dahlia. It is a 
clear picric yellow with deep, massive flowers of 
most artistic formation, held on strong, erect stems. 
Foliage is glossy green, having somewhat the appear¬ 
ance of holly. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
GOOD NIGHT (Broomall 85), g e, Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 5 ft. One of the prettiest dark dahlias we 
have had the pleasure of growing. Good throughout 
the season. Color, garnet shaded maroon. Its faults 
are hard to find, which is saying a great deal, as it 
has size, form and stem as well as being an early 
and profuse bloomer. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
H. R. S. (Seal 85), 1934, g e, Bloom 11 x 6, Bush 
6 ft. A beautiful, golden yellow of large size and 
distinction in form with numerous long, wavy petals 
and centers that are always full. By pinching out 
once, it develops into a well proportioned bush that 
gives you a quantity of flowers on long, slender, yet 
strong, stems. In all, a very pleasing dahlia. 
Plants, $2.50 
LONG HILL (Lotze 83), g e, Bloom 9x5, Bush 
5 ft. A seedling of Jane Cowl. Orange cadmium 
shaded coral and suffused soft carmine. The plant is 
a good grower and a prolific bloomer. Blooms are 
of good substance for cutting and exhibition. Certi¬ 
fied at Storrs 1932 where it was outstanding. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
LORD OF AUTUMN (Almy 88), 1934, g e, Bloom 
12 x 6, Bush 5J/2 ft. The most talked of ’34 intro¬ 
duction. We believe it will make friends the way 
Jane Cowl has and in the next couple of years will 
dominate the yellow class in the showroom. It is a 
wonderful grower with clean, glossy foliage, stems 
strong and erect. Flowers attain a wonderful size 
and depth, and the long, pointed and twisting petals 
with beautiful center formation remind one of a 
large exhibition chrysanthemum. We highly recom¬ 
mend this variety as it was the best of the 1934 
exhibition introductions. Plants, $5.00 
MYRA HOWARD (Glutzbeck-Dahliadel 86), g e, 
Bloom 10 x 7, Bush 5/ 2 ft. A dahlia we are 
proud to have introduced as it is one of the best of 
the ’32 introductions. The color is a glowing com¬ 
bination of yellow cadmium and gold with tints of 
salmon, the entire effect being ochreous orange. 
Throughout the deep flower are petaloids, which give 
it distinction in both form and color. A wonderful 
plant and a thrifty grower, producing giant blooms 
freely on long, strong stems. Won American Home 
Achievement Medal 1931, and in 1932 was certified 
at Storrs, Conn. Reports from customers indicate 
this dahlia behaves wonderfully well in the various 
climates. Georgia growers have been particularly 
enthusiastic. Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25
