PAUL PFITZER (Berger 86) (S.C.) — A German 
novelty that won a name for itself in the New 
York Show. It is a pleasing combination of prim¬ 
rose and shell pink that blends wonderfully well 
with Frau 0. Bracht, and the basket of these two 
varieties was about the loveliest one could ask for. 
Strong vigorous plants with dark foliage and ex¬ 
cellent stems. Root $3.00 
POTLATCH (I.D.) (Hulin) — Grenadine red with 
backs of petals pinard yellow and many petals 
splashed with it. Compact bush of five feet holding 
the large blooms on long stems. The blossoms will 
average 8 and .9 inches and face the audience. A 
long row of this attracted a lot of attention in our 
garden. Root $4.00 
PRES. FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT (F.D.) 
(Dr. Shattuck) — A Chinese red with fawn edge 
and cream reverse, making the blooms very strik¬ 
ing. The flowers are very large and deep, going 
eight inches without disbudding and holds its size 
all season. The blooms are held well above the 
foliage on good stiff stems. It is a profuse bloomer 
and should be disbudded and it can be grown then 
to eight canes without reducing the flowers to less 
than nine or ten inches. The foliage is perfect. 
Insects do not like it. Received certificate of merit 
at Storrs. Root $7.50 
RAY WARNER (Peacock, 1933) (I.D.) — A beau¬ 
tiful bloom of pink, two shades brighter than Jersey 
Beauty. It has long pointed petals and a full cen¬ 
ter. Early heavy bloomer that grows large by dis¬ 
budding. Root $3.00 
RIPPLES (I.D.) (Dr. Shattuck) —A very large 
flower of eight inches without disbudding. The 
rose pink colored blooms are held on very long 
stems way above the foliage. It is a great bloomer 
and has fine foliage. Root $4.00 
ROSINA MEHAFFEY (F.D.)— We all admire the 
large ones and in this new variety we find our want 
fulfilled to the uttermost. We like good vigorous 
growers that are insect proof. We have it here. I 
do not know how large they can be grown if 
disbudded, but we cut many 9-10 inch off plants 
not disbudded or pruned, so judge for yourself. 
Color tyrian-pink. Fine strong stems holding the 
big blooms erect. We recommend this variety as 
one of the best. Root $1.00 
RUDY VALLEE (Broomall-Success) (S.C.) — In 
this variety we have one of the most beautiful 
dahlias ever offered. When the flowers begin to 
open they show chrome yellow at center, with a 
graduation of grenadine red as the flower expands, 
finally becoming solid grenadine orange red when 
in full bloom. The flowers are pleasing to look 
upon, and instantly catch and hold the attention of 
all who see them. Flowers, large to very large, 
full centered, and are held well above the clean- 
cut foliage on long, straight stems. Plant 5 to 6 
feet high, with numerous strong laterals. Growth
