JOAN OF ARC —I. D. (No. 917-30). This fine white dahlia originated with us in 1930, 
and has been tested in gardens of our friends from Canada to as far south as Tennes¬ 
see, and the reports from the various sections of the country have been so encour¬ 
aging we have decided to introduce it. The plant is of rather dwarf habit, with many 
side branches, and is exceedingly prolific of bloom. Fine for garden and house dec¬ 
oration and for exhibition, as the blooms can be grown to 11 inches and over in size, 
and it is a remarkably good keeper when cut. Many of the flowers are distinctly 
marked with an Ox blood blotch or stripe on one or more of the petals, hence the name 
Joan of Arc. 
Roots each, $3.00; Plants each, $1.50 
LADY MOYRA PONSONBY —I. D. (Lee). Very large piric yellow blooms on as fine grow¬ 
ing plants as could be wished for in a dahlia. Flowers are large to very large, and 
are held high above the foliage on long stiff stems. Some growers rate this fine yel¬ 
low second only to the Lord of Autumn. If you do not have this fine exhibition 
variety, you should add it to your collection by all means. You will like the way it 
grows, and its lavish productiveness of large exhibition blooms.

1934 INTRODUCTIONS 
H. R. S.—HUBERT ROY STOVEL —(Seal). A great informal decorative of true yellow. 
On Hart’s honor roll for 1933, where it was sent for trial. The golden yellow blooms 
are huge without forcing and are held high above the foliage on long, stiff stems. Mrs. 
Seal considers H. R. S. the best of her many originations and introductions. 
Plants, only $2.50 each 
LOIS MARION —Inc. Cac. (Rusohmohr). This is a typical incurved cactus, and different in 
color from any we have seen, it being a light yellow, edged shrimp pink. The flowers 
are large for a dahlia of the incurved type, and are of very symmetrical formation. 
Stems are long and stiff, holding the flowers high out of the foliage of a tall robust 
growing plant. Very J§ree bloomer, when it gets under way which is a little late in 
the season. For this reason it should be planted as early as weather will permit and 
not be pinched back. 
Divisions, each $5.00. Plants, each $2.50
