*PINK BEAUTY —Cactus. Size of bloom 7 inches, 4 inche sdeep. Height of 
bush 5 feet. This beautiful Dahlia is much like its parent Oriental Beauty 
in type, but petals are more gracefully waved and it is a lighter shade 
of pink, being a clear rosalane pink without shading. Stems very long 
and strong, holding the lovely blooms erect. We entered 2 blooms and 
won both 1st and 2nd Prizes for best Cactus in the undisseminated class at 
the Washington Dahlia Show 1934. On American Home Honor Roll 
1934_Roots, $5.00 each; Plants, $2.50 
RADIANT SUNRISE 
*RADIANT SUNRISE —Informal Decorative. Size of bloom II inches across, 
31/2 inches deep. Height of bush 6 feet. This is a beautiful Dahlia and 
the color is hard to describe but according to Ridgeway's Color Chart 
the petals are a pale lemon yellow overlaid with light jasper red with 
a blending of spinel red and having a distinct zone of yellow at the 
base of petals, reverse of petals silver, the whole effect is rather like a 
sunburst of radiant, deep pink radiating from the yellow zone at the 
base of petals. Stems are long, and hold the big blooms perfectly erect. 
This variety won 2nd Prize at the Portland Dahlia Show 1934 for best 
undisseminated variety and was the only entry we made in this class. It 
always attracted attention in the Gardens and on exhibit at the Shows 
and was much admired_Roots, $5.00 each; Plants, $2.50

AMERICA’S SWEETHEART— (Salem-Lee's) Informal Decorative. An immense 
variety which is very outstanding among the 1935 introductions. Color 
is pure yellow without a particle of shading. Even the outer petals do 
not fade out like those in most Dahlias. Many of the petals are double 
serrated and curl and twist and as the bloom develops, they fall back 
to the stem, reminding one of a gigantic Chrysanthemum. The bloom 
is held almost on top of an absolutely stiff stem. Bush is medium height. 
Blooms are very full with high centers and were grown by the originator 
to more than 12 inches across, in the open field without irrigation or 
fertilizer, so when grown with fertilizer and water it can be grown to a 
most gigantic size. Many who have seen this Dahlia say it is the "best 
Dahlia to date." So do not fail to get this one if you want a thrill. 
Roots, $25.00 each; Plants, $12.50

faint tinge of pink. The stems are long and straight, ten inches to first 
set of leaves, and holds the big blooms high above the foliage. A very 
vigorous bush of medium height_Roots, $10.00 each; Plants, $5.00
