ADIRONDACK SUNSET 
ADIRONDACK SUNSET (Inf. Dec.) “Cackener'Parkway“—This is possibly the 
greatest dahlia ever introduced, if it is not, then surely it is by far the most spec' 
tacular, and most beautiful dahlia to date. Can you for a second visualise a dahlia 
with these colors, a deep vivid scarlet, shading to a bright canary yellow at the 
base. The petals are long and broad, forming a high, tight, rosedike center, show' 
ing the deep gold reverse of petals. The outer petals which are tipped gold, wave 
and twist near the tips, to further enhance its beauty. The three distinct colors 
blending in a most harmonious manner, giving the large blooms its striking sunset 
colors. The blooms are held facing sideways on long, stiff, canedike stems, in 
great profusion and well above the heavy insect resistant foliage. The plant aver' 
ages about 6 feet in height, a strong robust grower, of wide spreading habit, that 
is almost immune from insect attack. Mr. Derrill W. Hart placed ADIRONDACK 
SUNSET first in the Inf. Dec. class in his Honor Roll, and has this to say about 
it. “This aptly named variety has about everything a dahlia can offer; color, form, 
personality and growing habits. At the N. Y. Botanical Gardens it was the 
favorite by popular vote this year. The color is a brilliant scarlet red with golden 
tips, golden blushes on the reverse, and a vivid bright orange at the base of the 
petals, the center of the flower is tipped golden orange. Plants, #5.00 Roots, #10.00
