Parrella’s Dahlias have proven to be the best by test 
LINCOLN G. DICKEY (S. C.)—A good sized dahlia on a fine stem, early and 
free bloomer; color, primrose yellow with a decided rose suffusion. A 
medium sized plant and has a very good growing habit. Tubers, $.50 
LONG HILL (I. D.)—It is a seedling of Jane Cowl and an improvement over 
this one in many ways. Color a combination of gold and rose shadings 
with a yellow center and rose reverse. Imagine a dahlia with these colors 
and you have a fair idea of its beauty. The petals are long, curled and 
twist, further enhancing its beauty. The plant is a strong grower and a 
very prolific bloomer. Flowers are held erect on long, strong stems, well 
above the dark green leathery insect resistant foliage. A grand dahlia for 
cutting, as well as the exhibition table. Tubers, $2.00 
LORD OF 1 AUTUMN I. D. (Almy)—One of the finest yellow dahlias to date. 
Immense size, blossoms average 13 inches across by 9 inches deep, without 
forcing. This dahlia has been a great winner this past season and has 
made a wonderful record for itself. Plants $5.00 
MARY ELLEN (I. D.)—Another seedling of Mrs. I. De Ver Warner, with the 
same habits of growth, but the blooms of this one are not only much larger 
but also have a greater depth. Color is a lavender pink with considerably 
more pink than lavender. The flowers are held erect on the best of stems, 
well above the robust and prolific flowering bush. An ideal dahlia in every 
way, as it has the best of keeping qualities and is ideal for the table or 
exhibition. Tubers, $1.00 
MARY GERALDINE (F. D. 1—An unusual and beautiful dahlia. The color of 
which is Rose Red. All the petals tipped white, 9 inch flower on very good 
stem, a very clean grower and free bloomer. This is one dahlia, for her 
unusual beauty should be in every garden, scored 83 at Storr's trial ground. 
One of the central attractions, at The Botanical Gardens, Bronx, New 
York, and in the popularity contest held there, this last October, this 
dahlia received quite a number of votes. I recommend this one very 
highly. Tubers, $2.00 
MARY GRIGSBY (I. D.)—Color of which is orange shading to gold. Good 
stem and a free bloomer. Roots $2.00 
MARYLAND ORANGE (S. C.)—Color, orange medium sized flower on very 
good stems. Early and prolific bloomer, and has very fine growing habits. 
Roots $.75 
META SCAMMEL (S. C.)—A large exhibition dahlia, the color of which is a 
very attractive pale amaranth pink at the center and shading to a deeper 
amaranth pink towards the outer petals. Tubers, $.50 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (I. D.)—The color of this marvelous dahlia is a 
bright xanthine orange, the blooms which are of very large size, over 
13 inches in width, are borne in great profusion on cane stiff stems, well 
above the foliage, of an ideal growing plant that no insects will go near 
and one that seems to be immune from disease. The plant is a strong, 
vigorous grower with wide spreading habits and is always covered with 
blooms. A wonderful keeper when cut. Tubers, $.75 
MRS. ALFRED B. SEAL (I. D.)—The color of this magnificent dahlia is a pure 
rich glowing rose, without a trace of any other color and can very easily 
be grown to over 10 inches in width and 5 inches in depth. A very free, 
early and prolific bloomer that has all the habits a good dahlia should have.’ 
The stems that hold the huge flowers are not only long but strong and stiff, 
and the plant a tall, robust grower, always in bloom. Tubers, $.50 
MRS. EDWARD WIGGLESWORTH (F. D.l—This is an unusual dahlia, and 
very hard to describe, where it is not very large in size, it is very beautiful. 
The color of which is salmon buff and rose, white tipped, 7 inch flower 
on fine straight stems. This dahlia deserves a trial. Tubers, $2.00
