TOWERS EMPIRE I. D. (Tower-Parrella)—This is one of the super dahlias 
for the season of 1935. Immense blossoms of a clear gold with a deep 
amber shadings at the centre, on the best of stems. Blossoms can be grown 
from 12 to 15 inches in diameter. This variety has a wonderful branching 
habit. Height of plants averages about 8 ft. Unusual and insect resisting 
foliage. This dahlia deserves a place in the best of gardens. Stock limited. 
Roots $15.00. Plants $7.50 Net 
NOTE:—Mr. Hart’s comment on this particular variety in his description on 
the Honor Roll. 
TOWER'S EMPIRE (Tower-Parrella)—Few dahlias impress anyone till they 
come into bloom, but I watched this one at the New York Botanical Garden 
from the first of the season. It was a great source of satisfaction to see 
the tall bushes with the unusual foliage bear some of the most impressive 
blooms of the year. Clear gold with deep amber shadings at the- center. 
Blooms are large and deep. Aside from the beauty of form and color, it 
will be interesting to see it used in breeding. This dahlia will score very 
high. 
ROYAL ROBE I. D. (Sigismondi-Parrella)—Color, rich royal purple. The re¬ 
verse shows a definite silver shading that in no sense is a faded color, but 
gives the purple a clear brightness. The huge blossoms are borne on 
long and cane like stems which never droop. This is a seedling of Jane 
Cowl, and like the original parent, it is a tall growing bush with a tine 
foliage, insect resisting. This particular variety never shows a centre. 
Royal Robe is on Mr. D. W. Hart’s Honor Roll. 
Roots $10.00. Plants $5.00 Net 
NOTE—The description by Mr. Hart in his Honor Roll selections in the House 
Beautiful Magazine. 
ROYAL ROBE (Sigismondi-Parrella)—Here is a seedling from Jane Cowl, and 
if you visualize Jane Cowl in royal rich purple you have an accurate picture 
of it. The reverse shows a definite silver shading that in no sense is a 
faded color but gives the purple a clean brightness. Plants are very similar 
in habit of growth to their parent. This review contains three fine purples. 
A color class of purples will now provide keen competition and this dahlia 
will hold its own. 
TOWER’S TAWNEY I. D. (Tower-Parrella)—If you are interested in something 
different, “this is the dahlia.” Very unusual in color and form. The color 
is ochraceous buff, tawney and Pompein red, yellow toward base. Magenta 
is ochraceous buff, tawney and Pompeian red, yellow toward base. Magenta 
reverse. The petals are twisted and lay in such shape as to resemble a 
marcelle or permanent wave. Different shape from anything I’ve seen. 
The beautiful large blossoms are erect on fine stems. Medium and well 
formed bush, fine foliage and has good branching habits. This outstanding 
dahlia deserves consideration. Roots $10.00
