ROSETTA —I. D. (15-32). The predominating color effect of this fine dahlia is old rose 
shading to yellow radiation at base of petals, which greatly enhances its beauty. The 
flowers are 10 inches and over in width, and 6 to 7 inches in depth, and are held well 
above the dark leathery foliage, on stiff stems. Plant is of medium height, wide spread¬ 
ing and unusually prolific of large beautiful bloom, from early season until killed 
down by frost. The thick, tough foliage is very resistant to injurious insects. A 
good dahlia for exhibition, and for garden and house decoration. 
Strong divisions, each $5.00. Plants each $2.50 
THE FIREMAN —I. D. (Success 1934). This sensational red dahlia carried off the Ameri¬ 
can Home Achievement Medal as the best undisseminated variety at Poston, and in 
the New York Botanical Gardens it was also decidedly outstanding. The color is a 
flashy cardinal red with gold flushes and golden tips. Flowers are large, and are held 
high above the foliage on long stiff stems. Plant is a strong grower, prolific bloomer, 
and good tuber maker from green plants.

1932 and 1933 INTRODUCTIONS 
AMELIA EARHART —S. C. (Cordes-Eastman, 1933). This great dahlia becomes more 
popular each year because of its great prize winning achievements. It has been a great 
winner from coast to coast, and will continue to be one of the leaders for some years 
to come. The type is of semi-cactus form, and the color is a most charming apricot- 
buff. Flowers large, and are borne on long stiff stems on a medium tall plant. Very 
prolific of bloom. 
Roots, each $5.00. Plants, each $2-50 
CHAUTAUQUA SUNSET —I. D. (Wallace). We tested out this beautiful dahlia in our 
trial garden, 1932 and 1933, and of the numerous varieties in the Garden, none was 
more generally admired than this fine variety. No more exquisitely beautiful dahlia 
was ever originated. The coloring is a magnificent combination of sunset colors,— 
gold, orange, and peach red. Flowers are large full-centered and are held on 
strong stems, well above the dark green foliage. Plant medium high and wide spread¬ 
ing. A magnificent dahlia for garden and house decoration and a most excellent exhi¬ 
bition variety. Root stock quite limited. 
Divisions, each $5.00. Plants, each $2^50i, 3 for $7.00 
CROYDON—I. D. We introduced this fine white, spring of 1932, but were compelled to 
omit it from our 1933 catalog on account of scarcity of stock. We now have a small 
stock of good roots to offer and at a price you can afford to pay. The flowers are pure 
white, and grow to 10 inches and over across, and the flowers are borne on very sturdy 
stems facing. If the center bud is taken out and the best one of the side buds be 
allowed to develop, the flower will be held high above the foliage. The plant is a tall 
sturdy grower, well branched and quite prolific of large exhibition blooms. 
Divisions, each $3.00. Plants, each $1.50,. 3 for $4.00 
EAGLE ROCK SUPERRA —Dec. (Broomall-Success, 1933). Mr. Broomall considers this 
to be one of his very best originations. The color is difficult to define as there is no 
color in the color chart that matches it; the nearest being a light Amaranth Pink. 
The originator considers it a better dahlia than Eagle Rock Fantasy. It is about 
the same size as Fantasy, and habits of bush about the same. In fact it is a dupli¬ 
cate of Fantasy in every particular excepting color. This fine dahlia undoubtedly has 
a great future. 
Divisions, each $5.00. Plants, each $2.50 
JERSEY’S MAJESTIC —I. D. (Waite). With good cultivation and liberal feeding this dah¬ 
lia will grow to very large size. The color is quite distinct from all other dahlias, as 
ij/t is a pleasing blend of salmon, old gold and rose. The almost bronze color of the 
foliage, adds to the beauty of the flower. Plant is of very robust growth. 
Divisions, each $3.00. Plants, only $1.50 each 
LA FIESTA —I. D. (Cordes-Eastman). Here is another dahlia from the same source as the 
Amelia Earhart, that was one of the season’s outstanding winners and probably the 
most distinctive of the new dahlias in actual form. Won the Court of Honor prize at 
Camden, N. J., also best Informal Decorative Seeding at New York, Pennsylvania 
Horticultural Society Show, and at Richmond, Va. The color is Butter Yellow, pen¬ 
ciled red. A mass of lacy petals that curl and twist making the flower look like a 
great Chrysanthemum. Flowers are quite large, frequently attaining to 11 inches and 
over in diameter, by 8 inches in depth. Plant has excellent habit of growth. 
Roots, $1.00 each. Plants, only 75 cents
