AMERICA’S SWEETHEART 
The Greatest of All Yellow Dahlias 
(Salem Dahlia Gardens) 
An immense informal decorative of a pure yellow without a particle 
of shading. Even the outer petals do not fade out like those in most 
dahlias. Many of the petals are double serrated and curl and twist, and, 
as the bloom develops they fall back to the stem, reminding one of a 
gigantic chrysanthemum. The bloom is held almost on top of an abso¬ 
lutely stiff stem. The bush is of medium height and requires no staking. 
We grew all the 1934 yellows and many of the older varieties of 
yellows for comparison, but America’s Sweetheart was so far ahead of any 
of them that there was no comparison whatever. It is in a class by itself 
—a very full bloom with high center that grows up to a foot across in the 
open field without fertilizer or irrigation. With fertilizer it grows much 
larger. 
Visitors to our fields the past Fall were unanimous in saying it was 
the “best yellow to date,” while many claimed it to be the “best dahlia 
to date.” On Mid-West Honor Roll. 
If you ever liked any of our other originations, you cannot keep from 
loving America’s Sweetheart. Cuttings, $6.00; Plants, $8.35; Roots, $16.66 
GOLDEN HOARD 
(Salem Dahlia Gardens) 
Another dahlia that grows to immense size in the open field. Eleven 
and twelve-inch blooms are common. With fertilizer and irrigation it 
makes some of the “big ones” look like miniatures. It is informal decor¬ 
ative, but when fully developed borders on semi-cactus. The color is a 
most beautiful old gold with reverse of petals showing a faint tinge of 
pink. The stem is long and straight—ten inches to first set of leaves— 
and holds the bloom high above a very vigorous bush of medium height. 
You cannot afford to miss this wonderful creation.
