MILDRED BROOKS HOOVER (F.D.) (Broomall 
83) — This dahlia is distinctive because of its un¬ 
usual formation. Color, reddish violet or described 
by some as Spinel red. Stems are strong and hold 
the blooms well out of the foliage. This variety 
will remind you of Rosa Nell, with larger blooms 
of a shaggy formation. Root $1.00 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (F.D.) (Kemp)— This 
is a strong, vigorous grower producing extra large

MRS. ALFRED B. SEAL (F.D.) —Described by the 
originator as follows: Undoubtedly the largest and 
finest pure rich, glowing, old rose dahlia ever pro¬ 
duced — nothing we have ever seen can even re¬ 
motely approach it. Such an unusual coloring — 
the softest, richest shade of pure, glowing, old 
rose imaginable. The flowers are huge, measuring 
with Siskiyou, and of great depth and substance, 
and hold proudly erect above a tall, strong bush.

MYRA HOWARD (I.D.) (Glutzbeck-Dahliadel) — 
Glowing combination of saffron and gold with tints 
of salmon, the entire effect being ochreceous 
orange. Fine form and color. Wonderful plant and 
a thrifty grower, producing giant blooms on long 
rigid stems. Root $2.00 
OMAR KHAYYAM (F.D.) — This much admired 
giant. Color, a Chinese red at the base of petals 
and shading to a bright orange and tipped lighter, 
giving the huge blooms a wonderful soft color 
effect. The flowers which can easily be grown to 
over 10 inches in width are held erect facing side¬ 
ways, well above the foliage on cane-like stems that 
can be cut from 4 to 6 feet in length. This variety 
has won many prizes and is good as a cut or 
exhibition flower. Root $1.00
