FOR BETTER DAHLIAS JOIN THE AMERICAN DAHLIA SOCIETY 
SALEM PRIDE (Form. Dec.) “Sickler”—A rather spectacular dahlia, color a reddish 
violet, suffused, streaked and lightly flushed and shaded a silvery white toward 
the tips. The flowers are large and of great depth, and very attractive. They are 
held facing sideways, on good, strong, stiff, cane-like stems, well out of and above 
the heavy dark green insect-resistant foliage. The plant is strong, wide-spreading 
and self-branching in habit, as well as being of exceptionally vigorous and robust 
growing qualities. If you want a dahlia that you will admire, we are sure this 
one will fulfill your every expectation, as it is not only an early and very prolific 
bloomer, but will do so until frost. Height four feet. Roots, 75c 
SALLY B. (Inf. Dec.) “Almy”—A most beautiful pink, a seedling of Kathleen Norris, 
and like its parent, has the same long, black, rigid stems that hold the flowers 
erect and facing sideways, well above the large leaved foliage. The flowers are 
large and of good depth, and are borne in great profusion on a strong thrifty 
growing bush. Height four feet. Roots, #2.00 
SALMON SAGAMORE (Form. Dec.) “Parkway”—If you are looking for a variety that 
will give you a profusion of blooms, and do so from early in the season, and keep 
on doing this until frost, you need look no further, as we believe this to be about 
the most prolific of all varieties. The flowers average about six to seven inches 
and are held facing sideways on exceptionally long, rigid, stiff stems, well out of 
and above the foliage. The plant is always loaded down with blooms that have 
exceptionally good keeping qualities and should be a great commercial variety. 
The plant will average about six feet and is a good root maker. We had intended 
releasing this one at a much higher price, but we have a large supply of roots.

SALMON SUPREME (Form. Dec.) “Underhill”—A seedling of Jersey Beauty with a 
new color and form. Color a glistening salmon orange, with shades of pink, the 
flowers are held facing sideways on long stiff stems, well out of and above the 
foliage. A strong vigorous growing bush as well as being a very early and prolific 
bloomer. Height about six feet. Roots, 50c 
SARAH JANE (Inf. Dec.) “Galvin”—This gorgeous dahlia while not a giant will give 
many nine inch blooms, and of good depth. The petals are long and mitered, and 
curve at the tips giving the flower a very artistic effect. They are held facing side¬ 
ways on strong cane-like stems, well out of the foliage; and are borne in great pro¬ 
fusion. They were very much admired at the N. Y. Botanical Gardens the past 
season. The bush is a strong, rugged grower, of widespreading habit. Height five to 
six feet. Roots, #3.00 
SATAN (Semi. Cac.) Ballay - Here is a dahlia that should be in every garden. Color 
a flaming shade of red, with a slight touch of gold near the center, the exquisite 
coloring is at once fascinating, but what formation and stems; the blossoms measure 
from ten to thirteen inches across and from six to seven inches in depth. We 
had several blooms at the recent N. Y. show that were even larger. The petals 
of this flower are long and horn-like; they are so perfectly rolled and formed, and 
incurve as to give it rare form and character. The blooms are held at a forty-five 
degree angle on exceptionally long, sturdy, almost leafless stems, well out of and 
above the foliage which is large and absolutely insect resistant. The plant is tall, 
robust, as well as vigorous growing in habit, a prolific bloomer, and one that will 
bloom up until frost. We have a marvelous stock of this variety, as well as a 
large stock of it; the plant will average about seven feet, one that should make 
many friends, as it needs very little attention to get big blooms. Roots, #2.00 
'-SCHILLER (St. Cac.) “Berger”—A dahlia that very few dahlias will be able to win 
from in its class this coming season, and for sheer beauty, I do not know where 
one can find a color to equal it; a clear bright pink, the petals are long and quilled, 
and stand out like huge needles, the flowers are about six inches across and almost 
as deep, and are held facing sideways on long, stiff, sturdy stems, with very prettily 
cut or fern-like foliage that is thick and insect resistant. The plant is an early 
and very prolific bloomer and a strong thrifty grower; know of very few dahlia 
that will win from it in its color or class. We will guarantee this dahlia to give 
satisfaction in every way and to be all we say of it. Height five feet.
