AMERICA’S SWEETHEART 
Originated by the Salem Dahlia Gardens, Salem, N. J., 
and is one of the greatest yellow dahlias to date; pure 
in color without a particle of shading. The outer petals 
do not fade out like some yellows. Flower is very deep 
and from 10 to 12 inches, with a nice high center. 
Bush is robust and of medium height with the large 
flowers nearly on top of long stiff stems. Visitors who 
viewed this dahlia in the originator’s garden claimed 
it the best to date. 
Strong divisions each $25.00. Plants $12.50. 
GOLDEN HOARD 
(Salem Dahlia Gardens) 
Another fine dahlia that grows to immense size, 
many attaining 11 and 12 inches with ordinary care. 
Informal Decorative of most beautiful old gold with 
reverse of petals showing a faint tint of pink. The 
stem ds long and straight—ten inches to first set of 
leaves—and holds the bloom high above a very vigorous 
bush. 
This dahlia bids fair to be very popular. 
Strong divisions $10.00. Plants $5.00. 
BOYCHICK (I.D.) PARRELLA-HUL1N— Color, Garnet red 
at center shading to a lighter red at the edge of petals, 
with silvery streaked reverse, which adds more to the 
beauty of the flower. Flowers can easily be grown to 
10 inches in diameter and stand erect on fine stem. An 
early and prolific bloomer. Boychick is not only a dandy 
dahlia, but a good seed producer, and a fine cut flower 
as well. Bush grows about 5 feet tall, with insect re¬ 
sisting foliage. 
Roots $5.00 Net. Plants $2.50 Net. 
ROYAL ROBE (I.D.) SIGISMONDI - PARRELLA— Color, 
Royal rich purple. The reverse shows a definite silver 
shading that in no sense is a faded color, but gives the 
purple a clear brightness. The huge blossoms are 
borne on long and cane-like stems which never droop. 
This is a seedling of Jane Cowl, and like the original 
parent, it is a tall growing bush with a fine foliage in¬ 
sect resisting. This particular variety never shows a 
center. Royal Robe is on Mr. Derrill W. Hart’s Honor 
Roll. 
Roots $10.00 Net. Plants $5.00 Net. 
Above are originator’s stock. 
By all means keep abreast of the times, read the dahlia 
news of today and read it today. There is being published 
in Madison, Wis., a magazine devoted entirely to the 
dahlia and this magazine is a free lance inasmuch as it 
is not connected with any society or other publication. 
In it you will find many articles of vital importance to 
all dahlia growers. Show reports are given in great de¬ 
tail, trial garden reports also, and the doings of the 
dahlia in general. It is being published quarterly by a 
real dahlia fan, Mr. D. O. Eldridge, 170 Talmadge St., 
Madison, Wis. The subscription is a dollar and a single 
issue is worth that much. Again we say keep abreast of 
the times, send Mr. Eldridge a dollar today and you will 
never regret it. 
It is not safe to put off placing your order until there 
is a possibility of exhausted stock. The sure way to avoid 
disappointment is order now. Every year some varieties 
are completely sold out.
