Dahlias That We Recommend 
From Other Years 
ELISSA LANDI (Cordes) 
One of our 1934 introductions that has proved a great success. It 
is a formal decorative with a slight wave in the petals. A brilliant coral, 
fine foliage, good growth, and an exceptionally good keeper. This large, 
deep flower has been greatly admired and has proved a very valuable 
addition to the formal decorative class.

LOUISE BATES (Cordes) 
Introduced in 1934. The severe storms of last year destroyed the 
greater part of this stock, but those who grew this dahlia this year 
have been most enthusiastic in their praise of this huge, beautiful 
dahlia. Orchid lavender, semi-cactus, on a good bush, it has sturdy, long- 
stems. We have had many 15-inch flowers.

AMELIA EARHART (Cordes) 
Our 1933 introduction that took all by storm. It was and still is 
the largest dahlia in cultivation. We had one plant this year that had 
seven 12-inch blooms at one time. A Semi-Cactus, coral in color. The 
greatest exhibition flower ever introduced. Our stock is perfect.
