GUNGYWAMP (Form. Dec.) “Newberry"'—A fine dahlia with a color of unusual 
brightness. A bittersweet orange, with suffusions of Canary yellow, the blooms of 
this beauty are not only large, but have good depth, and are held at a forty'five 
degree angle on strong, canedike stems, well above the strong, sturdy and wide' 
spreading bush. It is always loaded down with immense blooms and should make 
a wonderful attraction in any garden. A good root maker, height five feet.

*H. B. MAY (St. Cac.) “Stredwick"— I believe this to be about the best and prettiest 
cactus ever to be sent here from England. When one sees this dahlia in bloom, 
it makes one wonder how it is possible to have such beautiful colors and tints in 
a flower. As near as we can describe it, from the color charts, we would say the 
color is a bright canary yellow at the base, to a light tan at the center of the 
petal, and to a silvery mauve at the tips, and heavily sheened silver and gold. 
It is hard to conceive the beauty of this dahlia. The blooms are held facing at a 
forty'five degree angle, on long, straight stiff stems, well out of the foliage, of 
the medium to tall growing plant. Height five to six feet. Roots, $3.00 
H. R. S. (Inf. Dec.) “Seal”—This huge and massive dahlia was named for Mr. Hubert 
Roy Stovel, the blooms are large and deep, the petals are long and broad, and 
twist and wave in a most enhancing manner. Color golden yellow throughout, no 
other shade or tint. The flowers are held at a 45 degree engle, on strong, cane' 
like stems, with very heavy, leathery, insect'resistant foliage. A strong, vigorous 
growing plant of fine blooming habits, and one that never fails to attract. Height 
about five feet. Plants, $3.75 Roots, $7.50 
*HANS BERGER (St. Cac.) “Berger"—A very pretty, neat and striking flower, color a 
clear vivid orange, with white tips. The flowers are not very large, but what they 
lack in size they make up in quantity. They are held facing at a forty'five degree 
angle, on strong, straight, wiry stems, well above the foliage. The plant which 
averages about 4 feet in height, is a free and constant bloomer. Roots, $1.50 
HEATHERBLOOM (Inf. Dec.) “Fraser"—Color a rich, rosy purple, with shadings of 
white, the formation of the flower is much like a large recurved chrysanthemum, 
of large size and great depth, with very little disbudding, the blooms are held 
facing the heavens on strong, canedike stems, well above and out of the foliage. 
It is very odd and striking in color and formation, and received many votes in 
the popularity contest at the New York Botanical Gardens, where it was grown 
this past summer. The plant is a free and early bloomer, as well as a rugged 
grower. Height about four feet. Roots, $3.50 
HELEN REED (Form. Dec.) “Rindfleisch"—We believe this to be about the largest 
and finest white formal decorative on the market to date. A single plant of this 
in any garden will stand out like a headlight. It is a fine, clean, rugged, robust 
grower, the blooms, which are always large, and of regular formation, are held 
facing sideways on strong, long, canedike stems, well out of and above the foliage. 
If you want a white that you can be proud of, we can highly recommend this 
to more than satisfy the most critical. A dahlia that has personality, dignity and 
all that goes with it. Height five to six feet. Roots, $1.50 
HILLCREST FLUFFY RUFFLES (Inf. Dec.) “Scott"'—Here is an odd variety that I 
can highly recommend. The color is a beautiful new shade of soft apricot, the 
blooms are very artistic and unusual in form, the petals are long, broad and 
fluffy and ruffled, hence its name. The blooms grow to great size and depth, and 
are held facing sideways on long, strong, canedike stems, well above the robust 
plant. A free bloomer, about 5 feet in height. Roots, $3.00 
HILLCREST ROYALIST (Inf. Dec.) “Scott"—A huge, richly colored flower of Bur' 
gundy wine red, with a background of vermilion'violet, giving this flower a richness 
6eldom seen in a red. The blooms are held facing sideways on strong, canedike 
6tems, well above and of the foliage of the strong, healthy, vigorous growing plant, 
that will average about five feet in height. Roots, $2.50
