JANE ROSS —ID (Ross). Another dahlia from 
the great midwest, which promises to take its 
place in the front rank, where beauty, stem and 
foliage combined with size are the prime requi¬ 
sites of a great dahlia. 
The color is bright purplish crimson shaded 
violet and overlaid with a velvety maroon 
sheen, deepening toward the center of the flow¬ 
er. Plants of medium height produce the 10- 
inch blooms in great profusion from very early 
until frost, on stems 24-36 inches in length. 
Jane Ross shows up well under artificial light 
and keeps unusually well when cut. 
The introducer has quite a large stock of the 
variety and in spite of our objections is offer¬ 
ing what we believe to be a ten-dollar dahlia at 
a second-year price. 
Roots $5.00 Plants $2.50 
ROCKLEY MOON— FD (Ruschmohr). Another 
impressive formal decorative which made the 
round of the shows this past season with start¬ 
ling success, and an outstanding variety at 
Storrs, where it received a Certificate of Merit. 
A large flower of exceedingly bright yellow, 
with bronze tints at the center. Stems are like 
canes, foliage is good and bush tall.

SHALIMAR —FD (Burkart). On the Midwest 
Honor Roll for this year. Color is poinsettia 
red; in other words, red that is red. A huge 
flower on a good stem, free bloomer. Created 
quite a lot of attention at the Grand Rapids 
Show.

WENOKA —FD (Hulin). Here is one that the in¬ 
troducer tested out in five different locations in 
the country with good reports on all. A huge 
flower to add to the short formal classes this 
next season. In color it is a rosy mauve or, as 
Mr. Hart describes it, "a shade lighter than 
American Beauty red." Extra long, strong, stiff 
stems. Has never been defeated in any of the 
Northwest shows. Outstanding at East Lansing 
and in the New York Botanical Gardens.
