Mad Ri ver Gardens Introductions for 1935 
BARBARA WALKER (Walker-Wickersham) I. D. A beautiful Dahlia formation; 
another Certificate of Merit winner at Storrs, scoring 85. Very resistant to insects and 
heat, and keeps right on growing. Every one liked this one. Color light vividine 
yellow, just like velvet. 
Plants $5.00 Roots $10.00 
BETTY ZANE (Mad River Gardens) I. D. We expected to hold this introduction 
for 1936 but as we had a good stock, and all who saw it wanted it, we have decided to 
put it out this year. Very large flowers of deep rose pink, with a silver sheen. We be¬ 
lieve its great quality of uniform growth and prolific blooming will make it very 
popular. 
Plants $5.00 Roots $10.00 
The name Chinese Lantern, was suggested by our good friend Mr. Prank Averbeck, 
Covington, Ky. 
CHINESE LANTERN (Caldwell- 
Wickersham) I. D. This large Dahlia, 
we predict, will win a host of friends; 
a very rugged grower, with dark in¬ 
sect resisting leathery foliage; won a 
Certificate of Merit at Storrs this 
year with the high rating of 85.5. Col¬ 
or rose red, or nearly scarlet red, 
backs of petals orange yellow; under 
artificial light it reminds you of a 
large Chinese Lantern. 
Plants $5.00 Roots $10.00 
DR. J. M. STOW ELL (McAuliffe- 
Wickersham) Semi-cactus. Very 
large flowers of a beautiful rose am¬ 
ber, shading to gold. This great 
Dahlia was awarded the American 
Home Achievement Medal, for the 
best seedling over Satan, its first 
showing; very free flowering on per¬ 
fect stems; bush four to five feet. A 
much needed type that can win. 
Plants $5.00 Roots $10.00 
THE YELLOW KNIGHT (Knight-Mad River Gardens) I. D. We quote from Derrill 
W. Hart’s Honor Roll:—“Sent me for trial this year, and I consider it one of the best 
of the novelties. A clear, golden yellow of a bright and pleasing shade. The bush is 
a tall grower, and the bold yellow flowers are on long, perfect stems. Competition in 
yellows has become very keen, but this unheralded Dahlia will make some others un¬ 
comfortable.” We add, and a most prolific root producer.
