1935 INTRODUCTIONS 
of 
OTHER GROWERS 
V 
AMERICA'S SWEETHEART— ID (Salem D. G.). 
An immense informal decorative of pure yel¬ 
low, without the slightest particle of shading, 
and without the tendency to fade on the outer 
petals. Many of the petals are doubly serrated 
with a curl and twist, bending far back toward 
the stems, reminding one of a giant chrysanthe¬ 
mum. Bush is of medium height, stems and 
foliage excellent, flower almost on the top of 
the stem. The introducer says that America's 
Sweetheart was grown alongside of all the 
new 1934 yellows and many of the older yel¬ 
lows, and was so far ahead of all of them that 
there was no comparison. Field culture without 
fertilization or irrigation which will produce 12- 
inch flowers is an excellent recommendation. 
What a dahlia this must be when one thinks of 
the massive Lord of Autumns, American Le¬ 
gions and many others. On the Midwest 
Honor Roll.

CALIFORNIA IDOL— ID (Ballay). Another giant 
yellow with a coast-to-coast show record. Has 
been called the "yellow Murphy's Master¬ 
piece,'' and, brother, if it is to the yellow class 
what Murphy's was to the red, won't that be 
sumpin'. Color, true, clear glistening yellow, 
a true pastel shade. 
Plants only $12.50 
DAHLIADEL GOLD —FD (Dahliadel). Here is a 
variety which can win in the largest bloom 
class if grown as it should be. Color, a pleas¬ 
ing golden yellow, shading darker at the center 
with a suffusion of light coral red. Bush is 
strong growing, with spreading foliage of dark 
green. 
Plants only $5.00 
HILLCREST NUGGET— ID (Scott). Its name tells 
its color better than any words we might use, 
"a real nugget of gold.'' On Mr. Hart's Honor 
Roll for this year and the new Honor Roll com¬ 
piled by the Midwest Dahlia News. Large, full-
